Annotation-triggered method call logging for your debug builds.

As a programmer, you often add log statements to print method calls, their arguments, their return values, and the time it took to execute. This is not a question. Every one of you does this. Shouldn't it be easier?

Simply add @DebugLog to your methods and you will automatically get all of the things listed above logged for free.

@DebugLog
public String getName(String first, String last) {
  SystemClock.sleep(15); // Don't ever really do this!
  return first + " " + last;
}

V/Example: ⇢ getName(first="Jake", last="Wharton")
V/Example: ⇠ getName [16ms] = "Jake Wharton"

The logging will only happen in debug builds and the annotation itself is never present in the compiled class file for any build type. This means you can keep the annotation and check it into source control. It has zero effect on non-debug builds.

Add it to your project today!

buildscript {
  repositories {
    mavenCentral()
  }

  dependencies {
    classpath 'com.jakewharton.hugo:hugo-plugin:1.2.1'
  }
}

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
apply plugin: 'com.jakewharton.hugo'

Disable logging temporarily by adding the following:

hugo {
  enabled false
}

If you want to toggle logging at runtime, use Hugo.setEnabled(true|false)
