Overview

(Needs Attention)

• Analyzing Display and Performance (systrace)
• Optimizing your View and Inspecting Hierarchy (hierarchyviewer)
• Investigating your RAM Usage (monitor)
• Profiling with Traceview (traceview)
• Profiling Android Apps - Performance Turning

In addition, the following concepts need to be included:

• Profiling GPU Rendering - quick visual representation of how much time it takes to render the frames of a UI window relative to the 16-ms-per-frame benchmark.
• Visualizing Overdraw - Shows on the device where an app might be doing more rendering work than necessary. Helping you see where you might be able to reduce rendering overhead.
• Heap Viewer - Identifying memory leaks
• LeakCanary for finding memory leaks easily
• Allocation Tracker - Finding the places in your code that may contribute to memory trashing.
• Batterystats - Shows where and how processes are drawing current from the battery.
• Batteryhistorian - Visualize system and application level events on a timeline. Guide to getting started
