使用Log时需要做和避免做的事情

API for sending log output.

Generally, use the Log.v() Log.d() Log.i() Log.w() and Log.e() methods.

The order in terms of verbosity, from least to most is ERROR, WARN, INFO, DEBUG, VERBOSE. Verbose should never be compiled into an application except during development. Debug logs are compiled in but stripped at runtime. Error, warning and info logs are always
kept.

Tip: A good convention is to declare a

TAG

constant in your class:

private static final String TAG = "MyActivity";

and use that in subsequent calls to the log methods.

Tip: Don't forget that when you make a call like

Log.v(TAG, "index=" + i);

that when you're building the string to pass into Log.d, the compiler uses a StringBuilder and at least three allocations occur: the StringBuilder itself, the buffer, and the
String object. Realistically, there is also another buffer allocation and copy, and even more pressure on the gc. That means that if your log message is filtered out, you might be doing significant work and incurring significant overhead.

一下内容转自别人博客：

android.util.Log常用的方法有以下5个：Log.v() Log.d() Log.i() Log.w() 以及 Log.e() 。根据首字母对应VERBOSE，DEBUG,INFO, WARN，ERROR。

1、Log.v 的调试颜色为黑色的，任何消息都会输出，这里的v代表verbose啰嗦的意思，平时使用就是Log.v("","");

2、Log.d的输出颜色是蓝色的，仅输出debug调试的意思，但他会输出上层的信息，过滤起来可以通过DDMS的Logcat标签来选择.

3、Log.i的输出为绿色，一般提示性的消息information，它不会输出Log.v和Log.d的信息，但会显示i、w和e的信息

4、Log.w的意思为橙色，可以看作为warning警告，一般需要我们注意优化Android代码，同时选择它后还会输出Log.e的信息。

5、Log.e为红色，可以想到error错误，这里仅显示红色的错误信息，这些错误就需要我们认真的分析，查看栈的信息了。
