Custom Logger

[RobertoArtiles]

Hi Sam and other contributors,
Great job. Keep it up!

I have a feature suggestion. Would be nice to be able to provide a log listener and a log level. It's useful in cases when you want to collect and send logs to the server, and you use for this a custom logger. So it can be something like this:

Glide.get(this)
    .setLogLevel(FULL)
    .setLogListener(new LogListener() {
        @Override
        public void log(String message) {
        }
}

Or maybe something more precise:

public void log(LogLevel level, String message)

Totally agree, I'd like more control over logging myself. I'd love to see a pull request for for something like this.

@sjudd This is still needs to be done? Does the glide has already logs inside the lib? It just needs to be wired up to top level?

[sjudd]

Glide has Android Logs, some of which are really only useful for debugging. We have some ways for developers to control the verbosity of those logs, but not a lot outside of adb. We don't have any API that would let people intercept logs the way this proposal would.

Would love to raise this again. I had multiple complaints from users about logs pollution from my application, which are coming from Glide

@dant3 You can control the verbosity of logs in different builds: http://bumptech.github.io/glide/doc/configuration.html#log-level

@sjudd while this should help with this noize in logcat, It can make some errors harder to trace. I would like to have ability to redirect information to my own logging facilities, to have more control over it as I'm doing logging into file, to aid in troubleshooting users issues.
