title: Android: java.util.logging.Logger vs android.util.Log
body: <p>Why does <code>Android</code> maintain 2 different Log classes that seem to support the same things?</p>
  
  <p>I'm talking about:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><code>Log</code> <a href="https://developer.android.com/reference/android/util/Log.html" rel="noreferrer">android.util.Log</a></li>
  <li><code>Logger</code> <a href="https://developer.android.com/reference/java/util/logging/Logger.html" rel="noreferrer">java.util.logging.Logger</a></li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>For what I've seen for some years developing, every Android official documentation points to the <code>Log</code> and not the Logger. </p>
  
  <p>Even specific loggers like the <a href="https://developer.android.com/reference/android/util/TimingLogger.html" rel="noreferrer">TimingLogger</a> uses the <code>Log</code>. </p>
  
  <hr>
  
  <p><strong>So why are those 2 supported?</strong></p>
  
  <p>Are there any feature that can be used through <code>Logger</code> than I can't achieve through <code>Log</code>?</p>
  
  <p>Are there specific use cases for both?</p>
