How can we print line numbers to the log in java

We ended up using a custom class like this for our Android work:

import android.util.Log;    
public class DebugLog {
 public final static boolean DEBUG = true;    
 public static void log(String message) {
  if (DEBUG) {
    String fullClassName = Thread.currentThread().getStackTrace()[2].getClassName();
    String className = fullClassName.substring(fullClassName.lastIndexOf(".") + 1);
    String methodName = Thread.currentThread().getStackTrace()[2].getMethodName();
    int lineNumber = Thread.currentThread().getStackTrace()[2].getLineNumber();

    Log.d(className + "." + methodName + "():" + lineNumber, message);
  }
 }
}

I am compelled to answer by not answering your question. I'm assuming that you are looking for the line number solely to support debugging. There are better ways. There are hackish ways to get the current line. All I've seen are slow. You are better off using a logging framework like that in java.util.logging package or log4j. Using these packages you can configure your logging information to include context down to the class name. Then each log message would be unique enough to know where it came from. As a result, your code will have a 'logger' variable that you call via

logger.debug("a really descriptive message")

instead of

System.out.println("a really descriptive message")

If it's been compiled for release this isn't possible. You might want to look into something like Log4J which will automatically give you enough information to determine pretty closely where the logged code occurred.

Look at this link. In that method you can jump to your line code, when you double click on LogCat's row.

Also you can use this code to get line number:

public static int getLineNumber()
{
    int lineNumber = 0;
    StackTraceElement[] stackTraceElement = Thread.currentThread()
            .getStackTrace();
    int currentIndex = -1;
    for (int i = 0; i < stackTraceElement.length; i++) {
        if (stackTraceElement[i].getMethodName().compareTo("getLineNumber") == 0)
        {
            currentIndex = i + 1;
            break;
        }
    }

    lineNumber = stackTraceElement[currentIndex].getLineNumber();

    return lineNumber;
}
