This project is provided as a sample for the Android library modularized architecture.
This library provides a way to log information to a remote server. The messages are persisted until sent and a retry mechanism is implemented if the operation fails.
Example of use:
val backendLogger = BackendLogger("https://your.domain/api/log") {
sizeLimit = 100 // this is the default value
retries = 10 // this is the default value
}
val message = mutableMapOf<String, Any>()
message["message"] = "Test message"
backendLogger.sendMessage(message)
The messages are sent as payload on a POST request to the provided URL. They are serialized by a serializer before being sent.
Currently only a partial JSON serializer is available. This serializer currently only supports String, Number and Boolan values.
The serializer is implemented as a separate library for extendability.

Further development plan:
- add javadoc and sources to the publication
- add support for more data types in json serializer
- monitor network connection
- authentication
- option to require device idle
- option to require charging
- option to require WiFi
- option to send only when idle
- batching
