Using Android apps

Question

How to get usage statistics for apps on Android? I want to access the time (in milliseconds) that each application uses.

thanks

Answer 1

Copy the source to the "spare parts" and see how they do it.

(also copy it from the emulator, install it on your phone and make sure it works)

Note: while this remains accurate for the Android versions in 2010 that were written about, restrictions added years later in 4.4 and 5.0 would significantly hinder achieving this in later versions.

Answer 2

You can use TraceView . Did you mean programming?

In programming, you can check how SpareParts does it .
