Call Stack Details in Java

As I get more into Android and back into Java, I wanted to know if there was a way to find out where a method was called from. It seems that the StackTarceElement class can be used to get details about the call stack. I found a great article on this blog showing me how to to do this.

I made one addition to the code found on this blog:

public static String getCallStack(int skip)
 {
  StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
  
  StackTraceElement[] stackTraceElements = 
   Thread.currentThread().getStackTrace();
  
  for (int i = 3 + skip ; i<stackTraceElements.length; i++)
  {
   StackTraceElement ste = stackTraceElements[i];
   String classname = ste.getClassName();
   String methodName = ste.getMethodName();
   int lineNumber = ste.getLineNumber();

   sb.append(classname + "." + methodName + ":" + lineNumber + "\r\n");
  }
  
  return sb.toString();
 }
