Adding Enhanced Debugger to view packet level information for Smack android based XMPP client

I'm referring to https://www.igniterealtime.org/builds/smack/docs/4.1.0/documentation/debugging.html for integrating debugger console in my android studio and added SmackConfiguration.DEBUG = true; but still can't see any debugging window. Please help me in this.

Edited [08-Feb-2018]:

On the basis of smack debugging document (https://github.com/igniterealtime/Smack/blob/master/documentation/debugging.md)

we can show all the packet level information in logcat or in system console.

For console logs: 

 System.setProperty("smack.debuggerClass", "org.jivesoftware.smack.debugger.ConsoleDebugger")
 System.setProperty("smack.debugEnabled", "true")

For Android Logcat:

SmackConfiguration.DEBUG = true

However, as per the doc, it provides GUI debugger viz Lite Debugger and Enhanced Debugger

Viewing multiple unorganized XMPP logs aren't readable at all. It will be however convenient to read via a GUI Debugger like the enhanced debugger.

I am using Ubuntu (Linux OS) and Android Studio for the development.

How can we add GUI debugger for debugging for building an android client?

how did you access the logs? what did you type to search thru the logs for smack debugging? @user2660386 – i_o
if you have SmackConfiguration.DEBUG = true in your code , then you can see smack related logs in logcat – Dharmita bhatt

Set system property like this:

System.setProperty("smack.debuggerClass","org.jivesoftware.smack.debugger.ConsoleDebugger");
System.setProperty("smack.debugEnabled", "true");
SmackConfiguration.DEBUG = true;
