GREEN TOOLS

Description: Built into Android Studio, the Android Profiler provides real-time data on CPU, memory, network, and battery usage of your app.

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.
