BaselineProfileRule


@RequiresApi(value = 28)
public final class BaselineProfileRule implements TestRule


A TestRule that collects Baseline Profiles to be embedded in your APK.

These rules are used at install time to partially pre-compile your application code.

BaselineProfileRule is only supported on Android 13 (API 33) and above, or if using a rooted device, Android P (API 28) and above.

Note that you can specify a filterPredicate to filter captured rules, for example, if you're generating rules for a library, and don't want to record profiles from outside that library.

See the Baseline Profile Guide for more information on creating Baseline Profiles.

import androidx.test.ext.junit.runners.AndroidJUnit4

@RunWith(AndroidJUnit4::class)
class AppBaselineProfileGenerator {
    @get:Rule val baselineProfileRule = BaselineProfileRule()

    @Test
    fun startup() =
        baselineProfileRule.collect(packageName = "com.example.my.application.id") {
            pressHome()
            // This block defines the scenario for which profiles are captured.
            // Here we are interested in optimizing for app startup, but you
            // could also navigate and scroll through your most important UI.
            startActivityAndWait()
        }
}

            filterPredicate = {
                // Only capture rules in the library's package, excluding test app code
                // Rules are prefixed by tag characters, followed by JVM method signature,
                // e.g. `HSPLcom/mylibrary/LibraryClass;-><init>()V`, where `L`
                // signifies the start of the package/class, and '/' is divider instead of '.'
                val libPackagePrefix = "com.mylibrary"
                it.contains("^.*L${libPackagePrefix.replace(".", "/")}".toRegex())
            }
        ) {

public BaselineProfileRule()

Public methods

apply

Added in 1.1.0
public @NonNull Statement apply(@NonNull Statement base, @NonNull Description description)

collect

Added in 1.2.0
public final void collect(
    @NonNull String packageName,
    int maxIterations,
    int stableIterations,
    String outputFilePrefix,
    boolean includeInStartupProfile,
    boolean strictStability,
    @NonNull Function1<@NonNull String, @NonNull Boolean> filterPredicate,
    @ExtensionFunctionType @NonNull Function1<@NonNull MacrobenchmarkScopeUnit> profileBlock
)

Collects baseline profiles for a critical user journey, while ensuring that the generated profiles are stable for a minimum of stableIterations.

Parameters
@NonNull String packageName

Package name of the app for which profiles are to be generated.

int maxIterations

Maximum number of iterations to run when collecting profiles.

int stableIterations

Minimum number of iterations to observe as stable before assuming stability, and completing profile generation.

String outputFilePrefix

An optional file name prefix used when creating the output file with the contents of the human readable baseline profile. For example: outputFilePrefix-baseline-prof.txt

boolean includeInStartupProfile

determines whether the generated profile should be also used as a startup profile. A startup profile is utilized during the build process in order to determine which classes are needed in the primary dex to optimize the startup time. This flag should be used only for startup flows, such as main application startup pre and post login or other entry points of the app. Note that methods collected in a startup profiles are also utilized for baseline profiles.

boolean strictStability

Enforce if the generated profile was stable

@NonNull Function1<@NonNull String, @NonNull Boolean> filterPredicate

Function used to filter individual rules / lines of the baseline profile. By default, no filters are applied. Note that this works only when the target application's code is not obfuscated.

@ExtensionFunctionType @NonNull Function1<@NonNull MacrobenchmarkScopeUnit> profileBlock

defines the critical user journey.

collectWithResults

Added in 1.4.0-alpha07
public final @NonNull BaselineProfileResult collectWithResults(
    @NonNull String packageName,
    int maxIterations,
    int stableIterations,
    String outputFilePrefix,
    boolean includeInStartupProfile,
    boolean strictStability,
    @NonNull Function1<@NonNull String, @NonNull Boolean> filterPredicate,
    @ExtensionFunctionType @NonNull Function1<@NonNull MacrobenchmarkScopeUnit> profileBlock
)

Collects baseline profiles for a critical user journey, while ensuring that the generated profiles are stable for a minimum of stableIterations.

Parameters

Returns
@NonNull BaselineProfileResult

BaselineProfileResult which can be used to determine the absolute paths of the collected baseline profiles.
