[logback-user] Rolling files on Android

[Tony Trinh]

Chris,

To help troubleshoot rollover issues, you can enable logback debug
statements with:

           LoggerContext context = (LoggerContext)
LoggerFactory.getILoggerFactory();

        // Enable debugging to show rollover status
        OnConsoleStatusListener.addNewInstanceToContext(context);

This will print any status messages when logback attempts to rollover the
file.

See the working example that demonstrates the RollingFileAppender:
