How to Use?

Open your project in Android Studio.

Run your app on an emulator or a physical device.

Navigate to “View” > “Tool Windows” > “Profiler

Monitor thread activity, function calls, and execution times.

Track power consumption related to CPU, network, and other system components.

Make necessary code and design changes to improve app performance and reduce energy consumption.

Measurements Energy Consumption: CPU Usage: Monitor how much the app utilizes the device's processor, helping to identify and optimize heavy CPU tasks. Battery Drain: Measure how the app affects battery life, focusing on high-consumption activities. Component-Specific Usage: Assess energy consumption of specific components like the screen, GPS, Wi-Fi, and sensors. Data Usage: Network Traffic: Monitor the volume of data sent and received over cellular and Wi-Fi connections. Data Efficiency: Evaluate the app's data usage that can be used to minimize unnecessary data transfers, reducing network load and energy consumption. Performance Metrics: App Load Time: Measure the time taken for the app to load and become responsive, helping to optimize startup performance. Response Time: Evaluate the app’s responsiveness to user inputs to ensure a smooth user experience. Resource Utilization: Track the usage of memory and other resources during app operation to identify and address performance bottlenecks.
