The Old Way: Manual Time Measurement If you’ve ever benchmarked a function in Kotlin or Android, you’ve probably written something like this: val start = System.currentTimeMillis() val result = doExpensiveWork() val elapsed = System.currentTimeMillis() – start Log.d(“Perf”, “doExpensiveWork took ${elapsed}ms, result=$result”) It works, but it’s noisy. You need three lines just to time one call,
AI-assisted development has moved well beyond autocomplete. Claude Code — Anthropic’s agentic coding tool — can read your project, reason about your architecture, write Kotlin, generate tests, and even help you debug Gradle. But like any powerful tool, it rewards those who know how to use it well. This guide walks you through everything you

While debugging some Android instrumentation tests that were ran using adb shell am instrument, I needed to print some logs into the terminal/console to inspect the flow and resolve some issues. Ever been coding away, trying to track down what’s happening under the hood, thinking Log.i/e/d or System.out would be your trusty sidekicks for logging
