Logger

Sendbird Chat SDK for Android offers a logging system that allows you to keep track of a number of events and activities including data flow, error, and information while running your app. You can closely monitor the operation of the Sendbird SDK and improve debug efficiency using our logging system.

Sendbird Chat SDK's logger is based on the log levels classified by Android. Log levels can be used to categorize and control log outputs. There are a total of six log levels, which are ALL (verbose), DEBUG, INFO, WARN, ERROR, and NONE. Apart from NONE, the other five log levels take precedence over the other in the following order: ALL (verbose) > DEBUG > INFO > WARN > ERROR. If you would rather not use the logger, you can select NONE to opt out of recording SendbirdChat logs.

Note: If an unexpected behavior is caused by a user's mistake or environmental factors, the behavior is classified as WARN. If it is due to the Sendbird SDK or Sendbird internal operations, it is classified as ERROR.

The default log level set for Sendbird Chat SDK for Android is LogLevel.WARN, which means that Sendbird Chat SDK keeps logs of both errors and warning messages. You can change the settings through the logLevel property in the InitParams class and pass it on when initializing the SDK as follows.

val initParams = InitParams(APP_ID, CONTEXT, USE_CACHING).apply {
    logLevel = LogLevel.VERBOSE
}
SendbirdChat.init(initParams, INIT_RESULT_HANDLER)

All Sendbird Chat SDK log messages start with SendbirdChat. If you want to see the log messages from Sendbird Chat SDK, search for messages with the keyword SendbirdChat.
