Log methods | Android
- Log.e: This is for when bad stuff happens. Use this tag in places like inside a catch statment. You know and error has occurred and therefore you're logging an error.
- Log.w: Use this when you suspect something shady
is going on. You may not be completely in full on error mode, but maybe
you recovered from some unexpected behavior. Basically, use this to log
stuff you didn't expect to happen but isn't necessarily an error. Kind
of like a "hey, this happened, and it's weird, we should look into it."
- Log.i: Use this to post useful information to
the log. For example: that you have successfully connected to a server.
Basically use it to report successes.
- Log.d: Use this for debugging purposes. If you
want to print out a bunch of messages so you can log the exact flow of
your program, use this. If you want to keep a log of variable values,
use this.
- Log.v: Use this when you want to go absolutely
nuts with your logging. If for some reason you've decided to log every
little thing in a particular part of your app, use the Log.v tag.
And as a bonus...
- Log.wtf: Use this when stuff goes absolutely,
horribly, holy-crap wrong. You know those catch blocks where you're
catching errors that you never should get...yea, if you wanna log them use Log.wtf
