Disable Volley logs in Android application

Question

The problem

I'm developing a SDK with using the Volley library for http(s) calls.

I'm able to hide my application logs using a customize Log class wrapper, and I would like to disable every log level printing of Volley, because it might expose sensitive information sent by HTTPS.

I know you can use proguard to disable logging of application, but I also want to be able to toggle logging on and off from the server side for debugging specific scenarios.

What have I tried

I took a look at the source, and it seems that the DEBUG flag in the VolleyLog class only changes the log level, but keeps ERROR calls in the log, so it isn't a solution for me.

Is it possible to hide all Volley logs ?

Have you found a solution? I'm having a same issue and I can't find solution.. — Majstor, Aug 01 '15 at 13:33
I'm also curious if you found a solution to this issue? I used ProGuard, but it did not work for the Volley error logs. [link](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/33554184/disable-volley-error-logs-in-aar) — Frackinfrell, Nov 05 '15 at 21:19

Do we need to set this statement in each class or only in the starting activity? – Anees U Nov 19 '15 at 10:28
Its better to add this line of code in Application class. – darwin Mar 01 '16 at 08:43

Source: https://github.com/google/volley/issues/125 It worked for me.

You can do this with Proguard, which is what I'd recommend as it's more efficient than flagging it off at runtime anyway. Something like:

-assumenosideeffects class com.android.volley.VolleyLog {
    public static void v(...);
    public static void d(...);
    public static void i(...);
    public static void w(...);
    public static void v(...);
}

I had no luck with VolleyLog.DEBUG = false; instead, this worked for me:

-assumenosideeffects class com.android.volley.VolleyLog {
    public static void v(...);
    public static void d(...);
    public static void e(...);
    public static void wtf(...);
}
