Using PowerMock one can mock Log.i/e/w static methods from Android logger. Of course ideally you should create a logging interface or a facade and provide a way of logging to different sources.

This is a complete solution in Kotlin:

import org.powermock.modules.junit4.PowerMockRunner
import org.powermock.api.mockito.PowerMockito
import org.powermock.core.classloader.annotations.PrepareForTest

/**
 * Logger Unit tests
 */
@RunWith(PowerMockRunner::class)
@PrepareForTest(Log::class)
class McLogTest {

    @Before
    fun beforeTest() {
        PowerMockito.mockStatic(Log::class.java)
        Mockito.`when`(Log.i(any(), any())).then {
            println(it.arguments[1] as String)
            1
        }
    }

    @Test
    fun logInfo() {
        Log.i("TAG1,", "This is a samle info log content -> 123")
    }
}

remember to add dependencies in gradle:

dependencies {
    testImplementation "junit:junit:4.12"
    testImplementation "org.mockito:mockito-core:2.15.0"
    testImplementation "io.kotlintest:kotlintest:2.0.7"
    testImplementation 'org.powermock:powermock-module-junit4-rule:2.0.0-beta.5'
    testImplementation 'org.powermock:powermock-core:2.0.0-beta.5'
    testImplementation 'org.powermock:powermock-module-junit4:2.0.0-beta.5'
    testImplementation 'org.powermock:powermock-api-mockito2:2.0.0-beta.5'
}

To mock Log.println method use:

Mockito.`when`(Log.println(anyInt(), any(), any())).then {
    println(it.arguments[2] as String)
    1
}
