Question

I do have an activity class, with logic mostly residing in other classes in particular the Player class. I had a bug I decided to trace by logging, and the logging messages I added never showed up, so I went up the calling stack until they started showing up, until I found the last message that showed, when the player touches the screen here:

public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
  Log.i("GA.onTouch()", "phase == false");  
  Player.test();
  return true;
}

There was no comprehensible reason why the call wouldn’t succeed without error, so I created this test function:

public static void test() {
    Toast.makeText(mParent, "so weird", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    Log.i("Player.test()", "");
}   

the toast shows, but not the log. I do not wish to debug by toast, it’s quite cumbersome, could anyone tell me what could possibly cause the log call to fail/not register/whatever it is it does?

Thanks!

Log._ does not work for empty messages. Do not know why 🙂

Log.i("Player.test()", "hello..It will show");

You need to give some message there!
