Log

public final class Log
extends Object

java.lang.Object
↳	android.util.Log

API for sending log output.

Generally, use the Log.v() Log.d() Log.i() Log.w() and Log.e() methods.

The order in terms of verbosity, from least to most is ERROR, WARN, INFO, DEBUG, VERBOSE. Verbose should never be compiled into an application except during development. Debug logs are compiled in but stripped at runtime. Error, warning and info logs are always kept.

Tip: A good convention is to declare a TAG constant in your class:

private static final String TAG = "MyActivity";

and use that in subsequent calls to the log methods.

Tip: Don't forget that when you make a call like

Log.v(TAG, "index=" + i);

that when you're building the string to pass into Log.d, the compiler uses a StringBuilder and at least three allocations occur: the StringBuilder itself, the buffer, and the String object. Realistically, there is also another buffer allocation and copy, and even more pressure on the gc. That means that if your log message is filtered out, you might be doing significant work and incurring significant overhead.

isLoggable

Added in API level 1

boolean isLoggable (String tag,

Checks to see whether or not a log for the specified tag is loggable at the specified level. The default level of any tag is set to INFO. This means that any level above and including INFO will be logged. Before you make any calls to a logging method you should check to see if your tag should be logged. You can change the default level by setting a system property: 'setprop log.tag.<YOUR_LOG_TAG> <LEVEL>' Where level is either VERBOSE, DEBUG, INFO, WARN, ERROR, ASSERT, or SUPPRESS. SUPPRESS will turn off all logging for your tag. You can also create a local.prop file that with the following in it: 'log.tag.<YOUR_LOG_TAG>=<LEVEL>' and place that in /data/local.prop.

Parameters
`tag`	`String`: The tag to check.
`level`	`int`: The level to check.

Returns
`boolean`	Whether or not that this is allowed to be logged.

Throws
`IllegalArgumentException`	is thrown if the tag.length() > 23.
