Logging and Debugging

This section shows a simple pattern for viewing and sharing logs.

How logging works

Bubbl exposes a Logger helper that writes logs to a file.

Logger.log("MainActivity", "Manual refresh")

Sharing logs

You can share logs using FileProvider.

val logFile = Logger.getLogFile()
val uri = FileProvider.getUriForFile(this, "${packageName}.fileprovider", logFile)

Required file_paths.xml

If you want to share logs, add this file: app/src/main/res/xml/file_paths.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<paths xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <files-path name="logs" path="." />
</paths>

Why

Without this file, FileProvider cannot generate a shareable URI and will crash.
