Logger
Sendbird Chat SDK for Android offers a logging system that allows you to keep track of a number of events and activities including data flow, error, and information while running your application. You can closely monitor the operation of the Sendbird SDK and improve debug efficiency using our logging system.
Log levels
The logger of Sendbird Chat SDK for Android is based on the log levels classified by Android. Log levels can be used to categorize and control log outputs. There are a total of six log levels, which are ALL (VERBOSE), DEBUG, INFO, WARN, ERROR, and NONE. Except NONE, five different log levels take precedence over the other in the following order: ALL (VERBOSE) > DEBUG > INFO > WARN > ERROR. Or you can use NONE in order not to keep Sendbird
logs.
Level | Description |
---|---|
NONE | No logs recorded. |
ALL | Logs all detailed information of the events and activities, as well as the log messages in DEBUG, INFO, WARN, and ERROR. |
DEBUG | Logs what's happening inside the SDK that could be helpful to debug unexpected behaviors, as well as the log messages in INFO, WARN, and ERROR. |
INFO | Logs the general events that take place in the Sendbird SDK, as well as the log messages in WARN and ERROR. |
WARN | Logs unexpected events which wouldn’t affect the operation of Sendbird SDK but might cause problems. This log level also shows the log messages in ERROR. |
ERROR | Logs what have caused failures in the specific events, but not a Sendbird SDK-wide failure. |
Note: If an unexpected behavior is caused by a user's mistake or environmental factors, the behavior falls into
WARN
. If it is due to the Sendbird SDK or Sendbird internal operations, it falls intoERROR
.
How to configure the log level
The default log level set for Sendbird Chat SDK for Android is LogLevel.WARN
, which means that Sendbird Chat SDK will keep logs of both errors and warning messages. You can change the settings through the setLoggerLevel()
method in the SendBird
class as follows:
Parameter | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
| LogLevel | Specifies the severity level of log to retrieve. One takes precedence over the other in the order of VERBOSE, DEBUG, INFO, WARN, and ERROR. You can also use NONE in order to not record |
The following sample code demonstrates what Sendbird Chat SDK prints for each log level.
