Add timber for debugging

[oyeraghib]

I am new to Android and still learning. I went through the complete app and the code looks very interesting. Thanks to the Google team for building such an amazing and helpful app.

I thought of adding Timber for debugging as it really eases the process of logging by avoiding necessarily adding TAG. Not sure if it is a part of AndroidX library. I remember learning to to use Timber instead of Logs from my classes at Udacity (where most of educators were from Google) so I think it might be a good add to the project. Thanks!

Glad you're finding this app helpful, and thanks for bringing this up!

Agreed that we need to use a logging library for the project, but we want to do a bit more investigation before committing to Timber. Created an issue to track this: https://github.com/android/nowinandroid/issues/214

I don't think we need a logging library.

We don't do a lot of logging - only one instance for jank stats. Also using the debugger and breakpoints is often more efficient than Log.d(...) for understanding the code.

If we can avoid using, and by extension, recommending a 3rd party library that's a good thing imo because it's one more decision we don't have to justify.

If you disagree please speak up 😃 otherwise I'll close this.

@dturner I agree, there are not many cases of Log.d except few. And debugging is better. Upto the maintainers if they think it's worth it, otherwise I am okay with closing it :)
