PLogs provides quick & simple file logging solution. All logs are saved to files in storage path provided. These logs are helpful when developer wants to analyze user activities within the app. A new log file is created every hour on a user event. These logs can be filtered and sorted easily. Logs can easily be exported as zip file base on filter type. This zip file can be uploaded to server on export. PLogs also provide functionality to arrange data logs into a predefined directory structure. These logs can be used for a specific events within the app. Logs can be saved as encrypted data.

Add module to your project:
Add it in your root build.gradle at the end of repositories:
allprojects {
repositories {
maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
}
} dependencies {
implementation 'com.github.umair13adil:RxLogs:[Latest_Version]'
}Add following implementation in your Application class.
class MainApplication : Application() {
override fun onCreate() {
super.onCreate()
setUpPLogger() //Initialize PLogger here
}
private fun setUpPLogger() {
val logsPath = "PLogs"
val logsConfig = LogsConfig(
isDebuggable = true,
savePath = logsPath,
zipFileName = "MyLogs",
exportPath = logsPath + File.separator + "PLogsOutput"
)
PLog.applyConfigurations(logsConfig, saveToFile = true, context = context) //Initialize configurations
}
}Your logs can be found in the path of your app's directory in storage:
--> Android/data/[YOUR_APP_PACKAGE]/files/[YOUR_LOGS_FOLDER_NAME]/Logs/
1. Simple Info Log
PLog.logThis(TAG, "method_name", "Log: " + Math.random(), LogLevel.INFO)2. Simple Warning Log
PLog.logThis(TAG, "method_name", "This is a warning message!", LogLevel.WARNING)3. Error Log
PLog.logThis(TAG, "method_name", "This is a error message!", LogLevel.ERROR)4. Severe Log
PLog.logThis(TAG, "method_name", "This is a severe error message!", LogLevel.SEVERE)5. Exception Log
PLog.logThis(TAG, "reportError", Exception("This is an Exception!"))6. Throwable Log
PLog.logThis(TAG, "reportError", Throwable("This is an Throwable!"))7. Exception Log with Info
PLog.logThis(TAG, "reportError", info = "Some Info", exception = Exception("This is an Exception!"), level = LogLevel.ERROR)8. Throwable Log with Info
PLog.logThis(TAG, "reportError", info = "Some Info", throwable = Throwable("This is an Exception!"), level = LogLevel.SEVERE)To configure set this flag to true:
PLogMetaInfoProvider.elkStackSupported = trueSend additional Meta info for better filtering at LogStash dashboard. This has to be set once on application start.
PLogMetaInfoProvider.setMetaInfo(MetaInfo(

))Note: PLogger currently supports SSL connection for MQTT.
Add certificate in your app's raw resource directory.
Add following block for initializing MQTT logging.
PLogMQTTProvider.initMQTTClient(applicationContext,
topic = "YOUR_TOPIC",
brokerUrl = "YOUR_URL", //Without Scheme
certificateRes = R.raw.m2mqtt_ca,
clientId = "5aa39cef4d544d658ecaf23db701099c",
writeLogsToLocalStorage = true,
initialDelaySecondsForPublishing = 30,
debug = true
)That's it, MQTT setup is done.
