Logging¶

Starter Template provides a simple logging utility via the Log object. You can use it anywhere in your Kotlin code to log messages consistently.

Usage¶

Use the following functions:

Log.d(TAG, "Debug message")
Log.i(TAG, "Info message")
Log.w(TAG, "Warning message")
Log.e(TAG, "Error message")

You can also pass multiple items:

Log.d(TAG, "User ID:", userId, "Action:", actionName)

Default Tag

If you want the default tag, pass null:

Log.d(null, "Debug message with default tag")

Create live templates in your IDE for faster logging.
