DownloadTimber is a logger with a small, extensible API which provides utility on top of Android's normal Log class. You can use this library and apply it into all the little apps you want to make. Behavior is added through Tree instances. You can install an instance by calling Timber.plant. Installation of Trees should be done as early as possible. The onCreate of your application is the most logical choice. The DebugTree implementation will automatically figure out from which class it's being called and use that class name as its tag. Since the tags vary, it works really well when coupled with a log reader like Pidcat. There are no Tree implementations installed by default. Timber ships with embedded lint rules to detect problems in your app. Timber detects the use of null or empty messages, or using the exception message when logging an exception.
