README
Trail
Trail is a simple logging system for Java and Android. Create logs using the same API and the library will detect automatically in which platform the code is running.
Features
- Easy and direct
- Same API for Java/Android logging
- 5 log levels:
- VERBOSE
- DEBUG
- INFO
- WARNING
- ERROR
- 5 different ways to create logs for each level
- Register/unregister listeners for log events
Log parameters
Tag: The tag of the log. It can be any object from which the method
toString()
will be called. If missing, a default tag with the name of the class where the log is created will be used.Message: The message of the log. It can be any object from which the method
toString()
will be called.Exception: The exception of the log (if any).
Examples
// providing only a message
Trail.verbose("Applicatio started!");
// providing a tag and a message
Trail.info("LOGIN", "Successful");
try
{
// do something
}
catch (Exception e)
{
// providing only an exception
Trail.debug(e);
}
try
{
// do something
}
catch (NetworkException e)
{
// providing a tag and an exception
Trail.warning("NETWORK_PROBLEM", e);
}
try
{
// do something
}
catch (SQLException e)
{
// providing a tag, a message and an exception
Trail.error("DATABASE_PROBLEM", "Invalid query format", e);
}
Utils
The library provides a method to retrieve the current location of the executing code:
Trail.getCodeLocation()
This method returns an instance of the class CodeLocation
that contains the name of the thread, the name of the class, the name of the method, the line number and the stack trace of the line of code being executed at that moment. This can be used to add more information to a log.
For example:
Trail.verbose("LOCATION", "I am at " + Trail.getCodeLocation());
Could generate the following output:
LOCATION: I am at [main]Sample.run:78
Listeners
The library allows to register/unregister listeners to be informed when a log is created:
public class SampleListener implements Listener
{
public void run()
{
// register the object to receive log events
Trail.register(this);
// the object will be informed about the following log
Trail.verbose("Message 1");
// unregister the object to stop receiving log events
Trail.unregister(this);
// the object will NOT be informed about the following log
Trail.info("Tag", "Message 2");
}
@Override
public void onLog(TrailLog log)
{
// TODO: process log information (write in a file/database, send by network, etc.)
}
}
Global settings
Enable/disable log printing (enabled by default):
// disables the log printing
Trail.enableLogPrinting(false);
Enable/disable listeners notification (enabled by default):
// disables the listener notification
Trail.enableListenerNotification(false);
