FrameMetricsAggregator

Added in 1.1.0

class FrameMetricsAggregator


This class can be used to record and return data about per-frame durations. It returns those results in an array per metric type, with the results indicating how many samples were recorded for each duration value. The details of the durations data are described in getMetrics.

For more information on the various metrics tracked, see the documentation for the FrameMetrics API added in API 24 as well as the GPU Profiling guide.

Public constructors

FrameMetricsAggregator

Added in 1.1.0
FrameMetricsAggregator()

Constructs a FrameMetricsAggregator object that will track TOTAL_DURATION metrics. If more fine-grained metrics are needed, use FrameMetricsAggregator instead.

FrameMetricsAggregator

Added in 1.1.0
FrameMetricsAggregator(metricTypeFlags: Int)

Constructs a FrameMetricsAggregator object that will track the metrics specified bty metricTypeFlags, which is a value derived by OR'ing together metrics constants such as TOTAL_DURATION to specify all metrics that should be tracked. For example, TOTAL_DURATION | DRAW_DURATION will track both the total and draw durations for every frame.

Parameters
metricTypeFlags: Int

A bitwise collection of flags indicating which metrics should be recorded.

Public functions

add

Added in 1.1.0
fun add(activity: Activity): Unit

Starts recording frame metrics for the given activity.

Parameters
activity: Activity

The Activity object which will have its metrics measured.

getMetrics

Added in 1.1.0
fun getMetrics(): Array<SparseIntArray!>?

Returns the currently-collected metrics in an array of SparseIntArray objects. The index of the array indicates which metric's data is stored in that SparseIntArray object. For example, results for total duration will be in the [TOTAL_INDEX] item.

The return value may be null if no metrics were tracked. This is especially true on releases earlier than API 24, as the FrameMetrics system does not exist on these earlier release. If the return value is not null, any of the objects at a given index in the array may still be null, which indicates that data was not being tracked for that type of metric. For example, if the FrameMetricsAggregator was created with a call to new FrameMetricsAggregator(TOTAL_DURATION | DRAW_DURATION), then the SparseIntArray at index INPUT_INDEX will be null.

For a given non-null SparseIntArray, the results stored are the number of samples at each millisecond value (rounded). For example, if a data sample consisted of total durations of 5.1ms, 5.8ms, 6.1ms, and 8.2ms, the SparseIntArray at [TOTAL_DURATION] would have key-value pairs (5, 1), (6, 2), (8, 1).

Returns
Array<SparseIntArray!>?

An array whose index refers to the type of metric stored in that item's SparseIntArray object, e.g., data for TOTAL_DURATION is stored in the [TOTAL_INDEX] item.

remove

Added in 1.1.0
fun remove(activity: Activity): Array<SparseIntArray!>?

Stops recording metrics for activity and returns the collected metrics so far. Recording will continue if there are still other activities being tracked. Calling remove() does not reset the metrics array; you must call reset to clear the data.

Parameters
activity: Activity

The Activity to stop tracking metrics for.

Returns
Array<SparseIntArray!>?

An array whose index refers to the type of metric stored in that item's SparseIntArray object, e.g., data for TOTAL_DURATION is stored in the [TOTAL_INDEX] item.

See also
getMetrics

reset

Added in 1.1.0
fun reset(): Array<SparseIntArray!>?

Resets the metrics data and returns the currently-collected metrics.

Returns
Array<SparseIntArray!>?

An array whose index refers to the type of metric stored in that item's SparseIntArray object, e.g., data for TOTAL_DURATION is stored in the [TOTAL_INDEX] item.

See also
getMetrics

stop

Added in 1.1.0
fun stop(): Array<SparseIntArray!>?

Stops recording metrics for all Activities currently being tracked. Like remove, this method returns the currently-collected metrics. Calling stop() does not reset the metrics array; you must call reset to clear the data.

Returns
Array<SparseIntArray!>?

An array whose index refers to the type of metric stored in that item's SparseIntArray object, e.g., data for TOTAL_DURATION is stored in the [TOTAL_INDEX] item.
