Decrease ORMlite's internal log verbosity or disable it
With method tracing we saw that LocalLog was being used. As is stated on LocalLog's documentation:
You can set the log level by setting the System.setProperty(LocalLog.LOCAL_LOG_LEVEL_PROPERTY, "trace").
Acceptable values are: TRACE, DEBUG, INFO, WARN, ERROR, and FATAL.
We couldn't set the property using adb shell
so we added the following line to our Application.onCreate
System.setProperty(LocalLog.LOCAL_LOG_LEVEL_PROPERTY, "ERROR");
Finally we stop seeing ORMLite output on logcat and performance increased as expected.
