Glide: log each request

Question

Consider the code below:

Glide.with(<your_context>)
    .load(<remote_file_url, local_file_path>)
    .into(<imageview>);

Above Glide code is written in lots of file. Simply I want to log my remote_file_url or local_file_path in logcat. But I don't want to change the code in every file.

Is Glide allowing logging? If it allows, then I need a simple central way to turn on glide logging.

For Reference: I want the way like Retrofit + okhttp allow. In OkHttp, I just have to add interceptor at one location and it will log information about each webservice call without writing any other additional code.

Answer 1

In Glide 4.0 RC that's possible via Glide configuration: you can configure Glide's logging level via GlideBuilder#setLogLevel(int).

Having MyGlideModule.java:

@GlideModule
public class MyGlideModule extends AppGlideModule {
  @Override
  public void applyOptions(Context context, GlideBuilder builder) {
    builder.setLogLevel(Log.VERBOSE);
  }
}

Then you'll be able to see following log in console:

For older versions (3.x), as mentioned in "Debugging workflow":

To view how and when Glide's internal engine finds the resources you asked for, you can enable logging:

adb shell setprop log.tag.Engine VERBOSE

adb shell setprop log.tag.EngineJob VERBOSE

adb shell setprop log.tag.DecodeJob VERBOSE

This will prompt with following output:

You can enable only Engine logging if you are not interested in other logs.
