SLF4J binding for the Android logger

• Does not support SLF4J markers, these will be ignored.
• Compatible with API version 1.

Configuration

• Loads properties from /uk/uuid/slf4j/android/config.properties.
• Configuration can be applied per logger prefix or set the default by omitting the logger prefix.
  • Set the tag for the specified logger prefix: tag.logger-prefix=TagName
  • Set the log level for the specified logger prefix: level.logger-prefix=SUPPRESS|ERROR|WARN|INFO|DEBUG|VERBOSE|NATIVE
  • Show the logger name in short, compact, long format, or show caller stack frame: showName.logger-prefix=false|short|compact|long|caller
  • Show the current thread: showThread.logger-prefix=true|false
• With no tag configured, logger names are automatically compacted to fit the Android 23 character tag limit.
• The default configuration does not show the logger name or the current thread.
• The default log level is NATIVE (use the Android log level for the tag).
  • The Android log level for each tag is cached at the time the logger is constructed.

Example Configuration File

tag=ExampleApplication
showThread=true
showName=short

Maven Central

• Available as uk.uuid.slf4j:slf4j-android.
• The configuration file when using the standard project layout should be located at src/main/resources/uk/uuid/slf4j/android/config.properties.
• Note: There is a bug in android-maven-plugin that makes the runtime scope unusable.
