### Initialize ALog in Android Application

Source: https://github.com/blankj/alog/blob/master/README.md

Example of initializing the ALog library within an Android Application's `onCreate` method, demonstrating various configuration options such as log switch, console switch, global tag, log head switch, file logging, directory, file prefix, border, single tag, console/file filters, stack depth/offset, save days, and adding a custom formatter for ArrayList.

```Java
// init it in ur application
public void initALog() {
    ALog.Config config = ALog.init(this)
            .setLogSwitch(BuildConfig.DEBUG)// Set global log switch, including console and file output, default on
            .setConsoleSwitch(BuildConfig.DEBUG)// Set console output switch, default on
            .setGlobalTag(null)// Set global log tag, default empty
            // When global tag is not empty, all logs will use this tag.
            // If empty, and the passed tag is empty, it displays the class name; otherwise, it displays the passed tag.
            .setLogHeadSwitch(true)// Set log header info switch, default on
            .setLog2FileSwitch(false)// Set switch to save logs to file, default off
            .setDir("")// If custom path is empty, logs are written to /cache/log/ directory of the app
            .setFilePrefix("")// If file prefix is empty, defaults to "alog", e.g., "alog-MM-dd.txt"
            .setBorderSwitch(true)// Set log border display switch, default on
            .setSingleTagSwitch(true)// Set single log entry output, default on, for AS 3.1 Logcat beautification
            .setConsoleFilter(ALog.V)// Log console filter, similar to logcat filter, default Verbose
            .setFileFilter(ALog.V)// Log file filter, similar to logcat filter, default Verbose
            .setStackDeep(1)// Log stack depth, default 1
            .setStackOffset(0)// Set stack offset, needed for secondary encapsulation, default 0
            .setSaveDays(3)// Set log retention days, default -1 for infinite duration
            // Add ArrayList formatter, default support for Array, Throwable, Bundle, Intent formatting
            .addFormatter(new ALog.IFormatter<ArrayList>() {
                @Override
                public String format(ArrayList list) {
                    return "ALog Formatter ArrayList { " + list.toString() + " }";
                }
            });
    ALog.d(config.toString());
}
```
