Fw: [Bug 173] New: slf4j android: Android throws an IllegalArgumentException when Log Tag length exceeds 23 characters

12 Mar 2010

      Hi Ceki,

would it be possible to create a new component "slf4j-android" in 
Bugzilla so that future bugs can be scoped appropriately.

Thanks,
Thorsten

Summary: slf4j android: Android throws an
                    IllegalArgumentException when Log Tag length
                    exceeds 23 characters
           Product: SLF4J
           Version: 1.5.x
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: blocker
          Priority: P1
         Component: Implementations

        ReportedBy: lorecarra@gmail.com
I don't know if the 23-characters long tag limitation has been
removed in later releases, but, unfortunately, Android 1.1 has it. I
think the tag length should be checked and the tag eventually trimmed
in order to avoid incurring in this exception without having to
change the application logging code.
The check is performed into the native method
android.util.Log.isLoggable()
To reproduce the problem in Android 1.1:
String ALLOWED_TAG = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvw";
String TOO_LONG_TAG = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz";
Log.i(ALLOWED_TAG, "blabla");
Log.i(TOO_LONG_TAG, "blabla");
