How to disable Android internal logging for specific tags (e.g. AbsListView, GestureDetector, endeffect)

Introduction

I am developing an application for Android, and it seems that there are several persistent protocols in a powerful system, see some examples below. I am debugging Eclipse on my Galaxy S4 device (4.2.2).

Here is a list of the types of log messages that I see in the view LogCat:

  • I/System.out: it displays debuggers, signs the beginning of the application, useful
  • D/dalvikvm: GC_FOR_ALLOC, GC_CONCURRENTuseful for viewing that I created too much garbage with my code
  • D/AbsListView, I/endeffect: every time a ListView is created, i.e. basically when I move between actions
  • I/CustomFrequencyManager, D/GestureDetector: every time I touch the screen
  • W/IInputConnectionWrapper: I don’t know, but definitely not my mistake, i.e. spam
  • others: do not mind, since they are mostly errors.

Question

How to disable certain log messages that are not generated by my code? To get rid of the list creation logs, I already tried:

  • adb shell setprop log.tag.AbsListView INFO from windows cmd
  • System.setProperties("log.tag.AbsListView", "INFO") in Application.onCreate

I am looking for a solution that

  • I can embed the application / configuration into my code, so I don’t need to run it every time I reboot the phone (as it would be with adb setprop).
  • doesn’t set the WARN log level in the LogCat view, because it will mean that I am stuck in WARN, ERROR and FATAL for my own application (that you must admit that this is not the best way to send debug messages; plus it will hide important things, such as GC!)

And the magazine
