How can I enable verbose debug on Cast SDK3 and CAF receiver?

Question

I'm converting to CAF receiver and Cast SDK 3. I'm having some issues with sending messages from the CAF receiver to the sender. I think the CAF part is working but to make sure I would like to enable verbose logs. How can I do that for both the sender (Android) and receiver?

Thanks.

You may try the answer in this [SO post](https://stackoverflow.com/a/2019597/8342742). Try to do an `int` named `loglevel` and define base on the log level. Refer to the [android documentation](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/util/Log.html) for an in depth details about logs. Also found Android TV debugging from the [Google cast documentation](https://developers.google.com/cast/docs/android_tv). — MαπμQμαπkγVπ.0, Apr 05 '18 at 09:06
That seems to be for generic Android debugging. I'm already logging on Android, I want to enable logging on the Cast SDK. V2 of the SDK had a log level option but I can't find it on V3. As far as the receiver end or Android TV, I'm already going into the log console, but I don't know how to enable verbose logging. I already had that on the V2 receiver but the V3 CAF receiver doesn't seem to have that option. — casolorz, Apr 05 '18 at 14:41

I know that's late but for others - on receiver side it's done this way:

castContext.setLoggerLevel(cast.framework.LoggerLevel.DEBUG);

I don't see that method on the documentation but I'll give it a try. Thanks. – casolorz Jul 06 '18 at 00:04
Seems like the method call does exist. Didn't see much change on the logs. – casolorz Jul 06 '18 at 00:11
It's described here https://developers.google.com/cast/docs/reference/caf_receiver/cast.framework.CastReceiverContext#setLoggerLevel – FarmaStron Jul 16 '18 at 13:10
Thanks, no idea why I didn't see it before. – casolorz Jul 17 '18 at 14:59
