XLog

Convenient and flexible library for logging in android and java, can concurrently print the log to multiple target like Logcat, System.out and File, or even Server(or anywhere) if you like.

Dependency

repositories {
    jcenter() // mavenCentral() would work, too
}
dependencies {
  compile 'com.elvishew:xlog:0.1.1'
}

Usage

Initialization

Simple way

XLog.init(LogLevel.ALL);

Advance way

XLog.init(LogLevel.ALL,
        new LogConfiguration                                             // If LogConfiguration not specified, will use new LogConfiguration.Builder().build()
                .Builder()                                               // The log configuration used when logging
                .tag("MY_TAG")                                           // Default: "XLOG"
                .jsonFormatter(new DefaultJsonFormatter())               // Default: DefaultJsonFormatter
                .xmlFormatter(new DefaultXmlFormatter())                 // Default: DefaultXmlFormatter
                .methodFormatter(new DefaultMethodFormatter())           // Default: DefaultMethodFormatter
                .throwableFormatter(new DefaultThrowableFormatter())     // Default: DefaultThrowableFormatter
                .build(),
        new AndroidPrinter(                                              // Print the log using android.util.Log, if no printer is specified, AndroidPrinter will be used by default
                new BorderConfiguration                                  // If BorderConfiguration not specified, will use new BorderConfiguration.Builder().enable(false).build()
                        .Builder()                                       // The border configuration used to indicate the message
                        .enable(true)                                    // Default: false
                        .horizontalBorderChar('═')                       // Default: '═'
                        .verticalBorderChar('║')                         // Default: '║'
                        .borderLength(100)                               // Default: 100
                        .build()
        ),
        new SystemPrinter(),                                             // Print the log using System.out.println, if not specified, will not be used
        new FilePrinter                                                  // Print the log to the file system, if not specified, will not be used
                .Builder("/sdcard/xlog/")                                // The path to save log file
                .fileNameGenerator(new DateFileNameGenerator())          // Default: ChangelessFileNameGenerator("log")
                .backupStrategy(new FileSizeBackupStrategy(1024 * 1024)) // Default: FileSizeBackupStrategy(1024 * 1024)
                .logFormatter(new DefaultLogFormatter())                 // Default: DefaultLogFormatter
                .build()

For android, a best place to do the initialization is Application.onCreate().

Global Usage

// Logging a LogLevel.INFO log
XLog.v(String, Object...);
XLog.v(String);
XLog.v(String, Throwable);

// Logging a LogLevel.DEBUG log
XLog.d(String, Object...);
XLog.d(String);
XLog.d(String, Throwable);

// Logging a LogLevel.INFO log
XLog.i(String, Object...);
XLog.i(String);
XLog.i(String, Throwable);

// Logging a LogLevel.WARN log
XLog.w(String, Object...);
XLog.w(String);
XLog.w(String, Throwable);

// Log a LogLevel.ERROR log
XLog.e(String, Object...);
XLog.e(String);
XLog.e(String, Throwable);

// Logging a JSON string
XLog.json(String);

// Logging a XML string
XLog.xml(String);

// Logging a method
XLog.method(Object...);

// Logging a calling stack
XLog.stack();
XLog.stack(String, Object...);
XLog.stack(String);

Custom Usage

1. Start a customization

Call any one of

XLog.tag(String);
XLog.jsonFormatter(JsonFormatter);
XLog.xmlFormatter(XmlFormatter);
XLog.methodFormatter(MethodFormatter);
XLog.throwableFormatter(ThrowableFormatter);
XLog.printers(Printer...);

to create a Logger.Builder object.

2. Further customization

Continue to customize other fields of the Logger.Builder object.

builer.tag(String);
builer.jsonFormatter(JsonFormatter);
builer.xmlFormatter(XmlFormatter);
builer.methodFormatter(MethodFormatter);
builer.throwableFormatter(ThrowableFormatter);
builer.printers(Printer...);

3. Build a customized Logger

Call the

builder.build();

of the Logger.Builder objetct and then a Logger object is built.

4. Start to log.

The logging methods of a Logger is completely same as that ones in XLog.
As a convenience, you can ignore the step 3, just call the logging methods of Logger.Builder object, it will automatically build a Logger object and call the target logging method, that means the built Logger object is kind of one-off.
All logging methods are list in Global Usage.

Comparison

Let's imagine there are a JSON string and a XML string

String jsonString = "{name:Elvis, age: 18}";
String xmlString = "<Person name=\"Elvis\" age=\"18\" />";
Log.d(TAG, "The message");
Log.d(TAG, String.format("The message with argument: age=%s", 18));
Log.d(TAG, formatJson(jsonString));
Log.d(TAG, formatXml(xmlString));
Log.d(TAG, "testAndroidLog(" + arg1 + ", " + arg2 + ", " + arg3 + ")");
Log.d(TAG, "Here's the call stack", new Throwable());

XLog

XLog.d("The message");
XLog.d("The message with argument: age=%s", 18);
XLog.json(jsonString);
XLog.xml(xmlString);
XLog.method(arg1, arg2, arg3);
XLog.stack("Here's the call stack");

XLog with border

Logger logger = XLog.printers(
        new AndroidPrinter(
                new BorderConfiguration
                        .Builder()
                        .enable(true)
                        .build()))
        .build();    
logger.d("The message");
logger.d("The message with argument: age=%s", 18);
logger.json(jsonString);
logger.xml(xmlString);
logger.method(arg1, arg2, arg3);
logger.stack("Here's the call stack");

Compatibility

In order to be compatible with Android Log, all the methods of Android Log are supported here.
See the Log class defined in XLog.

Log.v(String, String);
Log.v(String, String, Throwable);
Log.d(String, String);
Log.d(String, String, Throwable);
Log.i(String, String);
Log.i(String, String, Throwable);
Log.w(String, String);
Log.w(String, String, Throwable);
Log.wtf(String, String);
Log.wtf(String, String, Throwable);
Log.e(String, String);
Log.e(String, String, Throwable);
Log.println(int, String, String);
Log.isLoggable(String, int);
Log.getStackTraceString(Throwable);

Migration

If you have a big project using the Android Log, and it is a hard work to change all usage of Android Log to XLog, then you can use the compatible API, simply replace all 'android.util.Log' to 'com.elvishew.xlog.XLog.Log'.
(For a better performance, you should think about not using the compatible API.)

Linux/Cygwin:

grep -rl "android.util.Log" <your-source-directory> | xargs sed -i "s/android.util.Log/com.elvishew.xlog.XLog.Log/g"

Mac

grep -rl "android.util.Log" <your-source-directory> | xargs sed -i "" "s/android.util.Log/com.elvishew.xlog.XLog.Log/g"

Android Studio

In 'Project' pane, switch to the 'Project Files' tab, then right-click on the your source directory.
In the menu, click the 'Replace in Path...' option.
In the dialog, fill the 'Text to find' with 'android.util.Log', and 'Replace with' with 'com.elvishew.xlog.XLog.Log', and click 'Find'.

Thanks

Thanks to Orhan Obut's logger, it give me many ideas of what a logger should look like.
Thanks to Serge Zaitsev's log, it give me the thought of making XLog compatible with Android Log.
