How to insert a log in LogCat that when I click on it jumps to its line in code?

Question

I want to insert a log in LogCat that when I click on it jumps to its line like some error logs that are generated by system.

Is it possible?

Answer 1

Please use this Tree with Timber.

class MyLinkingTimberTree : Timber.DebugTree() {
    override fun createStackElementTag(element: StackTraceElement): String? {
        return makeClickableLineNumber(element)
    }

    private fun makeClickableLineNumber(
        element: StackTraceElement
    ): String {
        val className = element.fileName
        val methodName = element.methodName
        val lineNumber = element.lineNumber
        val fileName = element.fileName
        val stringBuilder = StringBuilder(className)
        .append(".")
        .append(methodName)
        .append(" (")
        .append(fileName)
        .append(":")
        .append(lineNumber)
        .append(")  ")
        return stringBuilder.toString()
    }
}

And then just instantiate it like this:

class MyApplication: Application() {

    override fun onCreate() {
        super.onCreate()
        if(BuildConfig.DEBUG) {
            Timber.plant(MyLinkingTimberTree())
        }
    }
}

Then just use Timber normally:

Timber.d("Currently Signed in:")

And this is the result. Nice, isn't it? I hope you enjoy using it as much as I enjoyed making it! ;)
