logback-android

Quick Start

1. Add logback-android and slf4j-api to your project classpath.
2. Configure logback-android using an XML file or in-code statements. Otherwise, logging is silently disabled.

3. Use slf4j-api in your application to write logging statements as shown in the example below.

   package com.example;
   
   import org.slf4j.Logger;
   import org.slf4j.LoggerFactory;
   
   import android.os.Bundle;
   import android.app.Activity;
   
   public class MainActivity extends Activity {
     @Override
     protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
       super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
       setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
   
       // SLF4J
       Logger LOG = LoggerFactory.getLogger(MainActivity.class);
       LOG.info("hello world");
     }
   }
