1046096 - test that AndroidLog actually writes messages to log

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Myk Melez [:myk] [@mykmelez]]

The AndroidLog unit test should be able to test that AndroidLog actually writes messages to the log, per this blog post <https://coderwall.com/p/s0wo3q>.  So we should do that.

Note that we don't need the obsolete READ_LOGS permission to do it, per this discussion <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/android-developers/6U4A5irWang>, as logcat will work without it.  It'll just automatically restrict the messages it outputs to the ones produced by our process.
