Yes I know, I was just trying to show the approach the the Google platform team (Dianne Hackborn) was taking. If they are unable to strip debugging then at the moment we have no chance :) -- RichardC On Oct 19, 6:38 am, jotobjects jotobje...@gmail.com wrote: That thread was about various ad

The work arounds get the job done and might be preferable to isLoggable anyway if the calls to isLoggable are at all expensive. It is worth understanding how the SDK instrumentation tools work (or not, in which case maybe isLoggable should be deprecated?). It seems like a good idea to use

That thread was about various ad hoc ways that developers are cooking up to strip logging and that if you do it wrong you will still be evaluating the logging statements even if they are not output (i.e., common sense Java). Apparently developers are working around the fact that there is no

Logging isn't compiled out automatically in my experience. I can add verbose and debug level logging statements like these: Log.v(LOG_TAG, Verbose test.); Log.d(LOG_TAG, Debug test.); and the output of both show up in adb logcat even if I have debugging off in the application's manifest and am

From http://developer.android.com/reference/android/util/Log.html#d(java.lang.String,%20java.lang.String): Verbose should never be compiled into an application except during development. Debug logs are compiled in but stripped at runtime. Error, warning and info logs are always kept. Yusuf

This is still a little unclear to me. AFAIK this is a recommendation to strip out debug logging - logging is not automatically stripped? Is there a mechanism for setting the log level as with Log4J and java.util.logging and commons logging? I haven't been able to get the Log.isLoggable()
