material-components-android VS timber

It works with both. Components for the view system are available on Github.

By going to the Github doc of the material components lib, you can change branches and easily check when the design was updated. The latest release with the old design is 1.4 (see this doc).

TargetSDK is 33

[Tokens/Color] Added U color resources for contrast mode support.

You mean this one? https://github.com/material-components/material-components-android/blob/master/docs/components/Search.md

I'm not a dev, but I'm curious about this, cause I thought Material Components was made years ago as a library for devs to dynamically use said material components, so they would have an easier time updating their apps when the guidelines changed. Did I interpret it wrong?

Material Components has ToggleButton which does exactly what you want

It's probably worth filing an issue about it https://github.com/material-components/material-components-android/issues

To try and fix this problem fast I knew I needed some sort of logging and that is when I discovered Timber and Firebase Crashlynics. I then used THIS video to set both of them up and to create a decent crash reporting system.

Timber

Do you still use the Android Timber lib? The only real pro I see is that you don't need to declare the Tag, other than that that "pro" where each call checks if debug or not I wonder why you would like to have that, I mean what I want is all debug-only logs to get stripped out from the code, and instead of calling if(BuildConfig.Debug) on each Timer.xy() call why not create an extra Application class under the debug folder where logs are activated? Just trying to figure out of this lib that actually started like 9 years ago is still needed or not really anymore. https://github.com/JakeWharton/timber

One of the options could be to setup logging to the file within the app and sync it with backend once necessary or required. This could be achieved by using library, such as Timber and setting up local file. Depending on your constraints, such as file size, you might want to include a file rotation strategy, e.g. start a new file and remove the old one.

Timber for logging

Same as in Timber
