README

logback-android CircleCI branch Codacy Badge

v2.0.0

Overview

logback-android brings the power of logback to Android. This library provides a highly configurable logging framework for Android apps, supporting multiple log destinations simultaneously:

  • files
  • SQLite databases
  • logcat
  • sockets
  • syslog
  • email

Runs on Android 2.3 (SDK 9) or higher. See Wiki for documentation.

For v1.x, see the 1.x branch.

Quick Start

  1. Create a new "Basic Activity" app in Android Studio.

  2. In app/build.gradle, add the following dependencies:

    dependencies {
  compile 'org.slf4j:slf4j-api:1.7.25'
  compile 'com.github.tony19:logback-android:2.0.0'
}

  3. Create app/src/main/assets/logback.xml containing:

    <configuration>
  <appender name="logcat" class="ch.qos.logback.classic.android.LogcatAppender">
    <tagEncoder>
      <pattern>%logger{12}</pattern>
    </tagEncoder>
    <encoder>
      <pattern>[%-20thread] %msg</pattern>
    </encoder>
  </appender>

  <root level="DEBUG">
    <appender-ref ref="logcat" />
  </root>
</configuration>

  4. In MainActivity.java, add the following imports:

    import org.slf4j.Logger;
import org.slf4j.LoggerFactory;

  5. ...and modify onOptionsItemSelected() to log "hello world":

    @Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
    Logger log = LoggerFactory.getLogger(MainActivity.class);
    log.info("hello world");
    // ...
}

  6. Build and start the app.

  7. Open logcat for your device (via the Android Monitor tab in Android Studio).

  8. Click the app menu, and select the menu-option. You should see "hello world" in logcat.
