Powering Up Debugging Without AI

A developer shares their experience building a custom IntelliJ IDEA plugin called Log Injector that automates inserting and removing log statements in Android code. The plugin supports multiple loggers (Android, Timber, Napier, system print) and works via a context menu to inject logs with method parameters and variable values. The post covers plugin configuration, signing, publishing to the JetBrains marketplace via GitHub Actions, and the plugin's current limitations. The author frames it as a practical alternative to using AI for routine debugging tasks.
