Installation

• Add the dependency from jCenter to your app's (not project) build.gradle file:

repositories {
    jcenter()
}

dependencies {
    implementation 'net.alexandroid.utils:mylogkt:1.13'
}

• Consider adding following proguard rule:

# Remove all log* methods from prpject
-assumenosideeffects class net.alexandroid.utils.mylogkt.MyLogKtKt { *; }
# Remove specific logger methods
-assumenosideeffects class net.alexandroid.utils.mylogkt.MyLogKtKt {
    public static *** logD$default(...);
    public static *** logW$default(...);
}

• Next (All the settings below are optional):

public class MyApplication extends Application {
    @Override
    public void onCreate() {
        super.onCreate();
        
        // Kotlin from Kotlin (Optional, to allow isPackageNameVisible = true)
        MyLogKt.packageName = packageName
        MyLogKt.isLogsShown = BuildConfig.DEBUG
        MyLogKt.tag = "STATIC CUSTOM TAG"

        // Other Kotlin version configurations
        MyLogKt.packageName = ""
        MyLogKt.isLogsShown = true
        MyLogKt.isThreadNameVisible = false
        MyLogKt.isTimeVisible = true
        MyLogKt.isPackageNameVisible = false
        MyLogKt.isClassNameVisible = true
        MyLogKt.isMethodNameVisible = true
        MyLogKt.isLengthShouldWrap = true

        MyLogKt.classNameLength = 15
        MyLogKt.packageAndClassNameLength = 35
        MyLogKt.methodNameLength = 15
        MyLogKt.threadNameLength = 6
        MyLogKt.timeFormat = "HH:mm:ss.SSS"
    }
}

• Also don't forget to add: android:name=".MyApplication" at your application tag in AndroidManifest.xml

 <application
        android:name=".MyApplication"
        ...>

How I use it

    logD("Empty 1")
    logI("Empty 2")
    logW("Empty 3")
    logE("Empty 4")
    logV("Empty 5")

   // Same functions
    debug("Empty 1")
    info("Empty 2")
    warn("Empty 3")
    error("Empty 4")
    verbose("Empty 5")

    logD("Custom tag example 1", "CustomTag1")

    logE("Show Exception", t = NullPointerException())
}
