An SLF4J backend for Android. It is a from scratch minimal implementation that will allow you to redirect log outputs coming from SLF4J into destinations such as log files or logcat.
It is similar to logback-android, but written in Kotlin from scratch. The advantage for us is that we don't have to depend on another third-party right now, and it would be easy to swap it for a different backend if needed later.
- Add SLF4J as a dependency, e.g.
implementation("org.slf4j:slf4j-api:2.0.16") - Add Khronicle as a dependency
- Create a
logger-config.xmlfile inresources/assets/ - Use SLF4J to log messages, like you would with any other SLF4J backend
Logging appenders are created via reflection so class names must be left intact for runtime. In order to keep them you will need to add the following to your application proguard rules:
-keep class com.esri.logger.khronicle.appender.** { *; }
- Android SDK 24 or newer.
