Joe Merten updated LOG4J2-951:
------------------------------
Description:
[This|https://github.com/Joe-Merten/Mpjoe/tree/b8564c852e0955c7b9342ad928957505edd4b88d/Android]
small Android project compiles using {{mvn clean install}}.
It includes something like
{code:java}
import org.apache.logging.log4j.LogManager;
import org.apache.logging.log4j.Logger;
// ...
logger.info("=== Initialized ===");
{code}
For configuring log4j2, I use a programmatically approch (see
[Log4jConfigure.java|https://github.com/Joe-Merten/Mpjoe/blob/b8564c852e0955c7b9342ad928957505edd4b88d/Common/src/main/java/de/jme/toolbox/logging/Log4jConfigure.java])
to
prevent the log4j2.xml Android issue as described in LOG4J2-721 and LOG4J2-728.
But I didn't see my logging output on logcat.
Seems that I need something like a {{LogcatAppender}} but couldn't find hints
how to do that.
I found [this|https://code.google.com/p/android-logging-log4j] project but it
has no commits over the last 2 years and so it seems that it not fits to log4j2.
Seeing this output in logcat:
{quote}
ERROR StatusLogger Log4j2 could not find a logging implementation. Please add
log4j-core to the classpath. Using SimpleLogger to log to the console...
{quote}
A bit further investigation:
* logging with {{logger.fatal()}} and {{logger.error()}} gave me output to
logcat, but both with {{Level = Warning}} and {{Tag = System.err}}
* all other {{logger.warn()}} ... {{logger.trace()}} were suppressed
When checking the system property {{java.class.path}}, it returns {{"."}}, but
this seems a normal circumstance (as described on
[developer.android.com|http://developer.android.com]).
So falling back to the key questions: How to configure log4j2 properly to
produce correct Android logcat output?
* want to have the loglevel placed correctly
* using the classname for the logcat tag seems a nice idea
Could anybory help?

A bit further investigation:
* as log as I'm unable to load log4j2.xml, log4j uses the SimpleLogger
* logging with {{logger.fatal()}} and {{logger.error()}} gave me output to
logcat, but both with {{Level = Warning}} and {{Tag = System.err}}

(I'd also tried out
[this|http://stackoverflow.com/questions/28235021/log4j2-on-android]
(log4j2.xml content into a String) but without success.)
