An Android library to periodically send device logs to a remote server by scheduling a background job for dispatching logs through a network call. Works for android versions >= 14.
RemoteLogger is available on JCenter. If your project does not include jcenter() already, add it to your project's build script.
allprojects {
repositories {
jcenter()
}
}
Then, include the dependencies in your module's build script.
dependencies {
implementation 'com.gurpreetsk:remotelogger:(latest-version)'
}
where (latest version) corresponds to published version in
You should initialize the library as early as possible in application lifecycle. The application onCreate might be the most logical choice.
This is done using the initialize(context: Context, url: String, userUniqueIdentifier: String) method, which requires context, the remote url to which the logs need to be sent to, and an identifier to uniquely identify the user.
Logs can be captured using methods provided in RemoteLogger class (in a similar way as android Log class).
Check out the sample app in app/ module.
A bare-bones server implementation can be found here. You can use this to test the application/library.
