Hugo is an Android library and Gradle plugin that adds automatic method call logging via a @DebugLog annotation. It logs method entry with arguments, return values, and execution time, only in debug builds with zero effect on release builds.

Use cases

• log method calls with arguments and return values in Android apps
• measure how long methods take to execute during debugging
• add debug tracing without polluting release builds
• replace manual log statements around method bodies
• toggle method logging at runtime while debugging

When to choose

• you develop Android apps in Java and want zero-effort debug logging
• you want method timing and argument logging that never ships in release builds
• you prefer annotation-driven instrumentation over manual log statements

When to avoid

• your project is Kotlin-first or uses modern tooling the plugin may not support
• you need production or release-build logging
• you need structured or centralized logging rather than simple method tracing
• you need a actively maintained solution for new Android Gradle Plugin versions
