Is there any way to automatically log the method name in Android?

I'm using this kind of pattern:

public class FooProvider extends ContentProvider {
    private static final String TAG = FooProvider.class.getSimpleName(); 
    ...

    @Override
    public int update(Uri uri, ContentValues values, String where, String[] whereArgs) {
        l.v(TAG, TAG + ".update() Uri:" + uri.toString() + " " + db.getPath());

Where l is my wrapper round Androids Log.v which takes String... args. This gives logcat output like this:

FooProvider.update() Uri: foo bar etc

What I'm looking for is a way to log the method name, in this case update(), automatically and in a way which survives refactoring the way TAG does. I've seen the class.getMethods() call but can't see a way to index the returned list with the current method at runtime.

You only need addition message and input to this function to auto create log

private static String buildMsg(String msg) {
    StringBuilder buffer = new StringBuilder();

    if (DETAIL_ENABLE) {
        final StackTraceElement stackTraceElement = Thread.currentThread().getStackTrace()[4];
        buffer.append("[ ");
        buffer.append(Thread.currentThread().getName());
        buffer.append(": ");
        buffer.append(stackTraceElement.getFileName());
        buffer.append(": ");
        buffer.append(stackTraceElement.getLineNumber());
        buffer.append(": ");
        buffer.append(stackTraceElement.getMethodName());
    }

    buffer.append("() ] _____ ");

    buffer.append(msg);

    return buffer.toString();
}
