How do you usually Tag log entries? (android)

Question

I assume most of you are aware of android.util.Log All logging methods accept \'String tag\' as a first argument.

And my question is How do you usually tag y

Answer 1

I usually create an App class that sits in a different package and contains useful static methods. One of the method is a getTag() method, this way I can get the TAG everywhere.
App class looks like this:

EDIT: Improved per br mob comment ( Thanks :) )

public class App {

    public static String getTag() {
        String tag = "";
        final StackTraceElement[] ste = Thread.currentThread().getStackTrace();
        for (int i = 0; i < ste.length; i++) {
            if (ste[i].getMethodName().equals("getTag")) {
                tag = "("+ste[i + 1].getFileName() + ":" + ste[i + 1].getLineNumber()+")";
            }
        }
        return tag;
    }

}

And when I want to use it:

Log.i(App.getTag(), "Your message here");

The output of the getTag method is the name of the caller class (with the package name), and the line number where the getTag is called from, for easy debuging.
