Logging and Error Handling

Logging

MobiusLoop logging is handled by the MobiusLoop.Logger provided to the MobiusLoop.Builder. Mobius.kt also has some internal logging which is handled by MobiusHooks.InternalLogger.

The default InternalLogger is backed by println for broad platform support. A custom InternalLogger implementation can be provided by setting a logger factory:

MobiusHooks.setLoggerFactory { tag: String ->
    CustomInternalLogger(tag)
}

Error Handling

Mobius.kt attempts to expose programmer errors as RuntimeExceptions resulting in a crash. Because uncaught exceptions in background Threads/Workers are handled by the specific instance, they are logged as an Error and ignored by Mobius.kt.

You can override the default error handling behavior with MobiusHooks.setErrorHandler:

MobiusHooks.setErrorHandler { error: Throwable ->
    MyCrashReportingService.logException(error)
    error.printStackTrace()
}
