Android: how to log all Activity methods calls?

Issue

I would like to have a quick way to be able to log all the calls to all the super methods called by the activity.

I have tried this https://github.com/stephanenicolas/loglifecycle

but for some reason it does not work with AppCompatActivity...

I could ask my IDE to override all the methods; but how to add Log to all of them? Manually? There must be a way..

Solution

You could go around and play yourself with stacktrace

StackTraceElement[] stackTraceElements = Thread.currentThread().getStackTrace();

From the docs:

The last element of the array represents the bottom of the stack, which is the least recent method invocation in the sequence.

EDIT: There seems to be a whole post about this HERE
