If You Debug With println(), Watch This

I don't debug, I let Crashlytics find the bug 😂

[daruiraikage]

I spray pesticides on my machine to debug my app.

[afixithei.V]

Log.d, Log.e etc are what I use.. I have never used a println in an android codebase

Where you find that shirt Philip, it look good

It's an escalation process and I pretty much know what it will take to fix a problem before I start. A couple of prntln statements usually does the trick. I created a helper class that I use on all my projects to facilitate that. But sometimes, debugger needs to be part of the process and then I will use it.

It's like asking a carpenter whether they prefer using a hammer or a hand saw. Both are indispensable tools in this line of work, and neither is a replacement for the other.

Debug points are not reliable in some specific scenarios like coroutines or callbacks, also can cause the android app to crash with ANR if you hold particular debug point waiting for long.

[StingerAJ]

Timber or debugger with standard, conditional and logging breakpoints.

[BalaKumaran-gj]

I use Log for most cases and a debugger in some case.

Don't encourage the println.... They should feel bad. These fools will run that println dozens of times when they can try things out with expression or traveling the stacktrace to look at previous state. I believe you people to do the right thing.

Didn't know we can use debugger to debug or find the output of code computation at compile time.

[taar]

I usually avoid the debugger because it's simply to slow to be usable. I'm much faster by logging out stuff and run the app normally.

[pallabbanerjee]

i debug by constantly staring at my code and hoping it will give up the culprit on its own

[simpleelegant]

Sometimes I just got lazy typing logt then create a variable for TAG or just supply the two parameters of Log. With println() I could just type quickly🤣If I spot the bug then remove those logging.

Hi Philip I’m wondering if you have any videos about socket programming while using the binder in android?

[rixclock]

I publish it in production and let the debuggers (client) find the bug for you.

[stoyan_vuchev]

I just found a tiny bug using printLn() 😂

[TechBuddy_]

Logging, crashlytics, print statements but no debugger most of the time

[ahmadamirudin]

Println 1
...
Println 2
...
Println 3

Simple way to debug code

[brightugwu]

I dont use Toast, println or Log i just guess what the bug might be 💀
