What is the best way to define log TAG constant in Kotlin?

Question

I\'m creating my first Kotlin classes in my Android application. Usually for logging purposes I have a constant with name TAG. What I would do in Java is:

Answer 1

This extension allows us to use TAG in any class

val Any.TAG: String
    get() {
        val tag = javaClass.simpleName
        return if (tag.length <= 23) tag else tag.substring(0, 23)
    }

//usage
Log.e(TAG,"some value")

It it also validated to work as an Android valid Log tag.
