GetLogger(String)

Find or create a logger for a named subsystem.

[Android.Runtime.Register("getLogger", "(Ljava/lang/String;)Ljava/util/logging/Logger;", "")]
public static Java.Util.Logging.Logger GetLogger (string name);
[<Android.Runtime.Register("getLogger", "(Ljava/lang/String;)Ljava/util/logging/Logger;", "")>]
static member GetLogger : string -> Java.Util.Logging.Logger

Parameters

name
String

A name for the logger. This should be a dot-separated name and should normally be based on the package name or class name of the subsystem, such as java.net or javax.swing

Returns

a suitable Logger

Attributes

Exceptions

If the specified resource bundle can not be loaded.

Remarks

Find or create a logger for a named subsystem. If a logger has already been created with the given name it is returned. Otherwise a new logger is created.

If a new logger is created its log level will be configured based on the LogManager configuration and it will configured to also send logging output to its parent's Handlers. It will be registered in the LogManager global namespace.

Note: The LogManager may only retain a weak reference to the newly created Logger. It is important to understand that a previously created Logger with the given name may be garbage collected at any time if there is no strong reference to the Logger. In particular, this means that two back-to-back calls like getLogger("MyLogger").log(...) may use different Logger objects named "MyLogger" if there is no strong reference to the Logger named "MyLogger" elsewhere in the program.

Parameters

name
String

A name for the logger. This should be a dot-separated name and should normally be based on the package name or class name of the subsystem, such as java.net or javax.swing

resourceBundleName
String

name of ResourceBundle to be used for localizing messages for this logger. May be null if none of the messages require localization.

Returns

a suitable Logger

Attributes

Exceptions

if the logger identified by name is associated with a resource bundle and its name is not equal to resourceBundleName.

if the name of the resource bundle cannot be found.

Remarks

Find or create a logger for a named subsystem. If a logger has already been created with the given name it is returned. Otherwise a new logger is created.

If a new logger is created its log level will be configured based on the LogManager and it will configured to also send logging output to its parent's Handlers. It will be registered in the LogManager global namespace.

Note: The LogManager may only retain a weak reference to the newly created Logger.

In particular, this means that two back-to-back calls like getLogger("MyLogger", ...).log(...) may use different Logger objects named "MyLogger" if there is no strong reference to the Logger named "MyLogger" elsewhere in the program.

If the named Logger already exists and does not yet have a localization resource bundle then the given resource bundle name is used. If the named Logger already exists and has a different resource bundle name then an IllegalArgumentException is thrown.
