A tiny Android library for those moments when you want your logs to be displayed on screen.
Extremely useful for testers who want to have more insight into what's going on behind the scenes in our apps when it misbehaves.
You can also define some basic settings such as background color, text color, text size and number of lines to display on screen so it better fits your needs.
Add the following to your build.gradle file:
repositories {
maven {
url "https://jitpack.io"
}
}
dependencies {
// ...
compile 'com.github.inaka:galgo:v1.0.2'
// ...
}Another option is to simply clone this repo and import it into Android Studio as a module.
public class ExampleActivity extends Activity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_example);
// add some customization to the log messages
GalgoOptions options = new GalgoOptions.Builder()
.numberOfLines(15)
.backgroundColor(Color.parseColor("#D9d6d6d6"))
.textColor(Color.BLACK)
.textSize(15)
.build();
Galgo.enable(this, options);
Galgo.log("I am a log message");
}
public void onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy();
// always call disable to avoid memory leaks
Galgo.disable(this);
}
}Here's an example of the log messages being displayed on top of our Activity:
