implementation("saschpe.log4k:log4k:0.1.6")

Usage

Logging messages is straightforward, the Log object provides the usual functions you'd expect:

Log.verbose("FYI")
Log.debug("Debugging ${foo.bar}")
Log.info("Nice to know")
Log.warn("Warning about $stuff ...")
Log.error("Oops!")
Log.assert("Something went wrong!", throwable)

The log output includes the function name and line and pretty-prints exceptions on all supported platforms:

I/Application.onCreate: Log4K rocks!

Configuration (Android example)

To only output messages with log-level info and above, you can configure the console logger in your Application class:

class MyApplication : Application() {
    override fun onCreate() {
        super.onCreate()
        Log.loggers.add(ConsoleLogger().apply {
            if (!BuildConfig.DEBUG) {
                minimumLogLevel = Log.Level.Info
            }
        })
    }
}

Custom logger (Android Crashlytics example)

The library provides a cross-platform ConsoleLogger by default. Custom loggers can easily be added. For instance, to send only ERROR and ASSERT messages to Crashlytics in production builds, you could do the following:

class MyApplication : Application() {
    override fun onCreate() {
        super.onCreate()
        Log.loggers += when {
            BuildConfig.DEBUG -> ConsoleLogger()
            else -> CrashlyticsLogger()
        }
    }

    private class CrashlyticsLogger : Logger() {
        override fun print(level: Log.Level, tag: String, message: String?, throwable: Throwable?) {
            val priority = when (level) {
                Log.Level.Verbose -> VERBOSE
                Log.Level.Debug -> DEBUG
                Log.Level.Info -> INFO
                Log.Level.Warning -> WARN
                Log.Level.Error -> ERROR
                Log.Level.Assert -> ASSERT
            }
            if (priority >= ERROR) {
                Crashlytics.log(priority, tag, message)
                Crashlytics.logException(throwable)
            }
        }
    }
}
