AppMonitor

Display in every given seconds on top of all apps the following values:

• the x top processes
• the battery level
• the native size and alloc for a given app
• the Dalvik size and alloc for a given app
• the number of activities in memory for a given app
• the number of views in memory for a given app

Modifiable parameters from UI:

• Package name of the monitored application
• Max number of top processes
• Refresh interval

AppMonitor get these information by using dumpsys service commands. Therefore it needs the android.permission.DUMP only settable through the package manager by typing adb shell pm grant com.athomas.appmonitor android.permission.DUMP.

Dumpsys commands used:

• dumpsys meminfo <package_name>
• dumpsys cpuinfo
• dumpsys battery

Important

The grant command seems to be unavailable on certain devices/versions. For example, on HTC and Samsung versions of Android, entering the above command will result to Error: unknown command grant. In this case, your device has to be rooted.

TODO :

• Allow to change the filename/path
• Add more info
• Find a way to generate the diagramm automatically
