LOG4J in Android

Question

I have Java Project with lot of files, which is using LOG4J. Now I am trying to Port it to Android platform. Is it possible to reuse the code as-it is, with LOG4J function c

Answer 1

Solved by using the android-logging-log4j.jar.

Here is sample code:

public class ALogger {
    public static org.apache.log4j.Logger getLogger(Class clazz) {
        final LogConfigurator logConfigurator = new LogConfigurator();
        logConfigurator.setFileName(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString() + File.separator + "log/file.log");
        logConfigurator.setRootLevel(Level.ALL);
        logConfigurator.setLevel("org.apache", Level.ALL);
        logConfigurator.setUseFileAppender(true);
        logConfigurator.setFilePattern("%d %-5p [%c{2}]-[%L] %m%n");
        logConfigurator.setMaxFileSize(1024 * 1024 * 5);
        logConfigurator.setImmediateFlush(true);
        logConfigurator.configure();
        Logger log = Logger.getLogger(clazz);
        return log;
    }
}

In your code, replace the below lines:

PropertyConfigurator.configure(MY_PROP_FILE);
logger = Logger.getLogger( MyClaZZ.class );

With:

logger = ALogger.getLogger(MyClazz.class);
