I want to do some extra stuff with my logs on debug build. Currently the app is using android.util.Log class (e.g. Log.w(TAG, "msg");directly, and they in turn appear in logcat.
Is there any way to capture stuff that is sent to logcat? Or is the only way to create a wrapper logger than executes my extra stuff and then calls to util.Log?
You can extend the class Log yourself and add your own listeners ( interfaces and probably send local broadcasts and receive using Android BroadcastReceivers) and respond to the information sent the way you want to.
Or if you dont want to reinvent the wheel you can explore some third party libraries like these first, second and third and probably a lot more. Many support printing the Logs too and more!.
