Timber SQL Logger

Log to a sql database for debugging. View the logs in-app with the LogViewerActivity.

This library was created when I decided that having my phone attached to logcat for hours in hopes a heisenbug would appear in a service was too inefficient.

Works with API level 11+

Usage

Logging is done manually by wait of...

 LogEntry entry = LogEntry.createLogEntry(Log.DEBUG, TAG, "Hit critical function");

  LogEntryProvider.insertLogEntry(context, entry);

...or you can plant a tree with Timber using SQLLoggingTree:

public class App extends Application {

// The default tag is used when no tag is provided.  private static final String DEFAULT_TAG = "TimberSqlSampleApp";
@Override  public void onCreate() {

LogEntryProvider.initialize(this);

Timber.plant(new SqlLoggingTree(this, DEFAULT_TAG));
  
}
 
}

Setup

In your app's AndroidManifest, you will need to include two items:

<activity
  android:name="io.explod.android.sqllog.ui.activity.LogViewerActivity"
  android:exported="false"/>  <!-- Important: set your own authority name and provide that name in the metadata -->  <provider
  android:name="io.explod.android.sqllog.data.LogEntryProvider"
  android:authorities="your.authority.name"
  android:exported="false"/>  <meta-data android:name="io.explod.sqllog.log.authority" android:value="your.authority.name"/>

And finally, to view the logs, you start the activity:

 private void goToLogViewer() {

Intent intent = new Intent(this, LogViewerActivity.class);

startActivity(intent);
  
}
