(Test) Simple logging framework for libgdx

gdx-logging

Simple logging framework for libgdx. This is my first Java library for a long time, so there may be some weirdness going on.

Getting started

// add to build.gradle
allprojects {
  repositories {
    // ...
    maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
  }
}

dependencies {
  implementation 'com.github.soundasleep:gdx-logging:0.2.0' // or 'main-SNAPSHOT' for the latest build
}

You can then refresh your Gradle dependencies to pick up the library.

(If you're using main-SNAPSHOT, use gradlew --refresh-dependencies to force Gradle to pull the latest copy of all your dependencies.)

Classes can have their own log

public class MyClass {
  private static GdxLog LOG = GdxLog.newLog(MyClass.class); // creates a new log group "MyClass"
  
  private void method() {
    if (LOG.info()) {
      LOG.info("hello! %s + %s = %s", 1, 1, 2);  // => System.out.println("[MyClass] hello! 1 + 1 = 2");
    }
  } 
}

Or, you can log anywhere you want

private void method() {
  GdxLog.newLog("my-library").info("hello!");
}

Developing in Eclipse

1. Clone this repository using Git
2. Import > Existing Gradle Project (important – don't just import the root folder)

You can also run gradlew eclipse to reset the .project and .classpath files.

TODO

• Able to configure the logging levels of different groups
• Writing logs to a filesystem
• All the other things that a good logging library needs
