can we use owasp-ESAPI for logging android application, as I have tried to search on google and then as per my understanding I found OWASP-ESAPI can be used with JAVA-EE. can someone help me to integrate secure logger with OWASP-ESAPI on android application?
For better understanding my problem please go though following :
"esapi-2.1.0.jar" allow us to write Following code that I am trying:
private final Logger logger = ESAPI.getLogger(MyActivity.class.getName());
logger.error(Logger.SECURITY_FAILURE, "session has expired, log out user");
when I run my project it gives following on logcat:
