Improve Your App’s Performance With Profiler

Day nine of 100 days of code — performance matters

You, after working so hard on the application, don’t want to deliver a memory-intensive choppy app that heats up your user’s phone.

Before Android Studio 3.0, there were some monitoring tools available, along with the traditional logging. But, going through your code logging statements, and using the old tools, was not that helpful for the devs.

In comes the Android Profiler, which came with Android Studio 3.0. Developers can use it to monitor their CPU, memory, battery consumption, along with monitoring the network requests your app is making. And yes, you can still print log statements in the Logcat.

I was always busy learning and experimenting with the latest Android concepts and never got time to dig more into the Profiler. I knew it was there but always procrastinated to learn more about it, even though it’s such an important aspect of Android application development.
