Answer by Richard for How to remove all debug logging calls before building the release version of an Android app?

Per android.util.Log provides a way to enable/disable log:

public static native boolean isLoggable(String tag, int level);

Default the method isLoggable(...) returns false, only after you setprop in device likes this:

adb shell setprop log.tag.MyAppTag DEBUG

It means any log above DEBUG level can be printed out. Reference android doc:

Checks to see whether or not a log for the specified tag is loggable at the specified level. The default level of any tag is set to INFO. This means that any level above and including INFO will be logged. Before you make any calls to a logging method you should check to see if your tag should be logged. You can change the default level by setting a system property: 'setprop log.tag. ' Where level is either VERBOSE, DEBUG, INFO, WARN, ERROR, ASSERT, or SUPPRESS. SUPPRESS will turn off all logging for your tag. You can also create a local.prop file that with the following in it: 'log.tag.=' and place that in /data/local.prop.

So we could use custom log util:

public final class Dlog 
{
    public static void v(String tag, String msg)
    {
        if (Log.isLoggable(tag, Log.VERBOSE))
            Log.v(tag, msg);
    }

    public static void d(String tag, String msg)
    {
        if (Log.isLoggable(tag, Log.DEBUG))
            Log.d(tag, msg);
    }

    public static void i(String tag, String msg)
    {
        if (Log.isLoggable(tag, Log.INFO))
            Log.i(tag, msg);
    }

    public static void w(String tag, String msg)
    {
        if (Log.isLoggable(tag, Log.WARN))
            Log.w(tag, msg);
    }

    public static void e(String tag, String msg)
    {
        if (Log.isLoggable(tag, Log.ERROR))
            Log.e(tag, msg);
    }
}
