Answer 5

You can use following simple technique for print log with class name.

private String TAG = MainActivity.class.getSimpleName();

Suppose we have to check coming variable value in method then we can use log like bellow :

private void printVariable(){
Log.e(TAG, "printVariable: ");
}

Importance of this line is that, we can check method name along with class name. To write this type of log.

write :- loge and Enter.

will print on console

E/MainActivity: printVariable:

Answer 6

The below both ways works fine.

System.out.println("The Class Name is: " + this.getClass().getName());
System.out.println("The simple Class Name is: " + this.getClass().getSimpleName());

Output as below:

The Class Name is: package.Student

The simple Class Name is: Student
