           Summary: slf4j android: Android throws an
                    IllegalArgumentException when Log Tag length exceeds 23
                    characters
           Product: SLF4J

          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other

I don't know if the 23-characters long tag limitation has been removed in later
releases, but, unfortunately, Android 1.1 has it. I think the tag length should
be checked and the tag eventually trimmed in order to avoid incurring in this
exception without having to change the application logging code.
The check is performed into the native method android.util.Log.isLoggable()
To reproduce the problem in Android 1.1:

String ALLOWED_TAG = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvw";
String TOO_LONG_TAG = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz";
Log.i(ALLOWED_TAG, "blabla");
Log.i(TOO_LONG_TAG, "blabla");
