Optimizing your app with Android Profiler
Blog post from LogRocket
Android Profiler, integrated into Android Studio, is a robust tool for monitoring and optimizing the performance of Android applications by providing real-time data on CPU, memory, network, and energy usage. Available in versions above 3.0, it allows developers to initiate profiling via the Profiler window, offering insights through various profilers such as Network, Energy, Memory, and CPU. The Network Profiler is particularly useful for tracking network requests and responses, while the Energy Profiler estimates power consumption to help prevent unnecessary battery drainage. Memory Profiler aids in identifying memory leaks by examining object allocations and garbage collection events, whereas the CPU Profiler provides detailed analysis of thread activities and execution times to troubleshoot application performance issues. These profiling tools collectively help developers ensure their applications are free from performance bottlenecks, excessive power consumption, and memory inefficiencies without the need for third-party libraries.
