Remko Popma commented on LOG4J2-728:
------------------------------------

Isn't that essentially creating our own file system abstraction? I'd like to 
keep it as light-weight as possible.

An alternative that I can see is to create a subclass of 
{{XmlConfigurationFactory}}, and override the {{protected ConfigurationSource 
getInputFromUri(URI configLocation)}} method. In the Android-specific 
implementation you would use Android-specific APIs to load the log4j2.xml file 
from the specified configLocation.

You can tell log4j to use your custom configuration factory by setting system 
property {{log4j.configurationFactory}} or by
calling the static method 
{{ConfigurationFactory.setConfigurationFactory(ConfigurationFactory)}} (before 
creating any Logger instances).

> Look for log4j2.xml in assets folder (or the application data) in an Android 
> APK.

> To add files in an Android apk, you need to put them in an assets folder and 
> then they are in an "assets" folder in the APK.
> Log4j 2 needs to find it there when it exists (not the case now).
> Also would it be possible to load the xml configuration file from the 
> application data ( 
> https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/data/data-storage.html ) ?
