How do I fix whatever is causing this to flood my logcat: I/System.out﹕ (HTTPLog)-Static: isSBSettingEnabled false

Question

I'm writing an Android app that access the internet. It runs without error, but ever since I upgraded my device (Samsung Galaxy S5) to Android 5.0.1 my logcat is flooded with the following messages when my phone runs the app:

That is an extremely small sample of what my logcat looks like. What does this even mean? Is there some way to set "isSBSettingEnabled" to true just to make it shut up?

Answer 1

You can use the regex filter to hide the log message flooding your log:

^((?!isSBSettingEnabled).)*$

You can also hide more than one offending log by using |. For example

^((?!isSBSettingEnabled|OtherLog|OtherLog2|Annoying Messages).)*$

Answer 2

You are probably using a HttpUrlConnection or a HttpsUrlConnection. Maybe you can find out which class is logging by calling getClass() on the corresponding connection and turn it off with the Logger.getLogger("...").setLevel(Level.OFF);

See also Enable logging for JDK class programmatically

Answer 3

If you are using HttpLoggingInterceptor on the application that runs on a Samsung device, just set the loglevel to the body, it will fix everything. Something like this should work fine:

HttpLoggingInterceptor loggingInterceptor = new HttpLoggingInterceptor();
loggingInterceptor.setLevel(HttpLoggingInterceptor.Level.BODY);
