Stripping out all Timber logs from my apk

Question

I use the below code in my proguard rules to strip out any log.d i may have left before i compile the release apk.

> -assumenosideeffects class android.util.Log {
>     public static *** d(...);
>     public static *** v(...); }

Is there a way to do it for all timber logs?

Timber.w("This shouldn't show in release apk when decompiled");

Answer 1

Would the same approach - but using a Timber class instead of Log - not work? E.g.:

-assumenosideeffects class timber.log.Timber* {
    public static *** v(...);
    public static *** d(...);
    public static *** i(...);
}

Alternatively, you could follow the sample project and do something like:

public class App extends Application {
  @Override
  public void onCreate() {
    super.onCreate();

    if (BuildConfig.DEBUG) {
      Timber.plant(new DebugTree());
    } else {
      Timber.plant(new ProductionTree());
    }
  }

  private static class ProductionTree extends Timber.Tree {
    @Override
    protected void log(int priority, String tag, String message, Throwable t) {
      // Do whatever (or nothing) here.
    }
  }
}
