Android Log helper (automatic class, method and line) replacing android.util.Log
package me.shkschneider.skeleton.helper;
import android.text.TextUtils;
import android.util.Log;
/**
* Improved android.util.Log.
*
* Logs class and method automatically:
* [MyApplication onCreate():34] Hello, world!
* [MyClass myMethod():42] my log msg
*
* Install:
* $ find -name "*.java" -type f -exec sed -i 's/import android.util.Log/import me.shkschneider.skeleton.helper.Log/g' {} \;
*
* Better to use with adb -s com.example.myapp

Thanks for the feedback!
I was trying not to use annotations and was happy to see this code working, but indeed getting the StackTrace on production logging could be expensive: https://stackoverflow.com/a/10625065/603270
I'll look into it.

Referenced by https://github.com/zserge/log, which is nice BTW

Improvements: class now substitutes to android.util.Log and accepts Throwables.
