Android Studio Ninja Tip: Custom try/catch code template

Steps for customization Step-1 : Go to Android Studio Preferences | Editor | File and Code Templates Step-2:  Select Code | Catch Statement Body Step-3:  Replace the existing template from: ${EXCEPTION}.printStackTrace(); with: Log.e(getClass().getSimpleName(),...
