Class SoundSystemLogger

java.lang.Object

paulscode.sound.SoundSystemLogger

public class SoundSystemLogger
extends Object

The SoundSystemLogger class handles all status messages, warnings, and error messages for the SoundSystem library. This class can be extended and methods overriden to change how messages are handled. To do this, the overridden class should be instantiated, and a call should be made to method SoundSystemConfig.setLogger() BEFORE creating the SoundSystem object. If the setLogger() method is called after the SoundSystem has been created, there will be handles floating around to two different message loggers, and the results will be undesirable. See SoundSystemConfig for more information about changing default settings. If an alternate logger is not set by the user, then an instance of this base class will be automatically created by default when the SoundSystem class is instantiated.
