Android Studio comes with some pre-packaged Live Templates to make writing code fast. There are some logcat specific live templates that you could use in your classes to quickly write code for logging. Below are some of the logging methods that I find invaluable.

logt (create TAG):

logm (Log.d for method call including parameter): loge (Log.e):

The same can be done for logi , logv , logr . I don’t know about you. These have saved me a couple of keystrokes…and extra libraries just for logging. You can even create your own Live Templates if you want.
