A recent question got me thinking about how I use logging in my development/debug process.
Remember that it’s easy to lie to yourself with logs. I can’t tell you how many times I have made incorrect assumptions about what is going wrong with my code based on the truth presented by the logs. Eventually after exhausting all the other options you finally start tracking down the real problem.
Welcome future Android developers!
I’m very excited about next week’s class! I’m a huge fan of Android and can’t wait to share my love with you all.
Please install all of the following before class begins. It takes a long time to install several of these tools, so it would be hard on the class bandwidth and will take a lot of time to get ready while the class is going on around you!
