Question 1

How to mock API responses with LoggingInterceptor?

Accepted Answer

Implement the BufferListener interface to return custom JSON based on the request, and enable mock mode in the builder with a delay. This lets you simulate backend responses during development without network calls.

Question 2

LoggingInterceptor vs Chuck for Android HTTP logging?

Accepted Answer

LoggingInterceptor focuses on formatted Logcat output and mock support, while Chuck provides persistent notifications in the app. Choose LoggingInterceptor if you need better log readability or mocking; Chuck is better for real-time in-app monitoring.

Question 3

How to batch logs to avoid interleaving in Logcat?

Accepted Answer

Use the BatchingSink with a custom LogSink to accumulate logs before output. The README's fork example shows how to wrap LogSink to handle chunking, though this requires extra configuration.

Question 4

Can LoggingInterceptor be used in production?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but set the log level to NONE or BASIC to reduce overhead. Be cautious with BODY logging to avoid exposing sensitive data, as it logs full request/response contents.

Question 5

How to add custom headers with LoggingInterceptor?

Accepted Answer

Use the addHeader method in the builder to inject headers into all requests. This is useful for adding authentication tokens or API keys without modifying your OkHttp client directly.

Question 6

Does LoggingInterceptor support Kotlin DSL?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the README includes Kotlin DSL examples for Gradle dependencies and usage, making it compatible with modern Android projects using Kotlin build scripts.
