Android Performance Monitor

A transparent ui-block detection library for Android, app only needs one-line-code to setup.

The naming is to pay respect to the great library LeakCanary, ui-related codes are modified from leakcanary's ui part.

• 1.5.0 Add context that can stop monitor in debug mode.
• 1.4.1 Bug fix.
• 1.4.0 Bug fix, add onBlock interceptor in context.
• 1.3.1 Enable configuration of label and icon.
• 1.3.0 Add white-list and concern-package feature.

Getting started

You may choose how to assemble them as you like.

dependencies {
    // most often used way, enable notification to notify block event
    compile 'com.github.markzhai:blockcanary-android:1.5.0'

    // this way you only enable BlockCanary in debug package
    // debugCompile 'com.github.markzhai:blockcanary-android:1.5.0'
    // releaseCompile 'com.github.markzhai:blockcanary-no-op:1.5.0'
}

As this library uses getMainLooper().setMessageLogging(), please check if you set it in your app (related issue https://github.com/moduth/blockcanary/issues/27)

Usage

Maximum log count is set to 500, you can rewrite it in your app int.xml.

<integer name="block_canary_max_stored_count">1000</integer>

Monitor app's label and icon can be configured by placing a block_canary_icon drawable in your xhdpi drawable directory and in strings.xml:

<string name="block_canary_display_activity_label">Blocks</string>

public class DemoApplication extends Application {
    @Override
    public void onCreate() {
        // ...
        // Do it on main process
        BlockCanary.install(this, new AppBlockCanaryContext()).start();
    }
}

Implement your application BlockCanaryContext context (strongly recommend you to check all these configs)：

public class AppBlockCanaryContext extends BlockCanaryContext {

    /**
     * Implement in your project.
     *
     * @return Qualifier which can specify this installation, like version + flavor.
     */
    public String provideQualifier() {
        return "unknown";
    }

    /**
     * Implement in your project.
     *
     * @return user id
     */
    public String provideUid() {
        return "uid";
    }

    /**
     * Network type
     *
     * @return {@link String} like 2G, 3G, 4G, wifi, etc.
     */
    public String provideNetworkType() {
        return "unknown";
    }

    /**
     * Config monitor duration, after this time BlockCanary will stop, use
     * with {@code BlockCanary}'s isMonitorDurationEnd
     *
     * @return monitor last duration (in hour)
     */
    public int provideMonitorDuration() {
        return -1;
    }

    /**
     * Config block threshold (in millis), dispatch over this duration is regarded as a BLOCK. You may set it
     * from performance of device.
     *
     * @return threshold in mills
     */
    public int provideBlockThreshold() {
        return 1000;
    }

    /**
     * Thread stack dump interval, use when block happens, BlockCanary will dump on main thread
     * stack according to current sample cycle.
     * <p>
     * Because the implementation mechanism of Looper, real dump interval would be longer than
     * the period specified here (especially when cpu is busier).
     * </p>
     *
     * @return dump interval (in millis)
     */
    public int provideDumpInterval() {
        return provideBlockThreshold();
    }

    /**
     * Path to save log, like "/blockcanary/", will save to sdcard if can.
     *
     * @return path of log files
     */
    public String providePath() {
        return "/blockcanary/";
    }

    /**
     * If need notification to notice block.
     *
     * @return true if need, else if not need.
     */
    public boolean displayNotification() {
        return true;
    }

    /**
     * Implement in your project, bundle files into a zip file.
     *
     * @param src  files before compress
     * @param dest files compressed
     * @return true if compression is successful
     */
    public boolean zip(File[] src, File dest) {
        return false;
    }

    /**
     * Implement in your project, bundled log files.
     *
     * @param zippedFile zipped file
     */
    public void upload(File zippedFile) {
        throw new UnsupportedOperationException();
    }


    /**
     * Packages that developer concern, by default it uses process name,
     * put high priority one in pre-order.
     *
     * @return null if simply concern only package with process name.
     */
    public List<String> concernPackages() {
        return null;
    }

    /**
     * Filter stack without any in concern package, used with @{code concernPackages}.
     *
     * @return true if filter, false it not.
     */
    public boolean filterNonConcernStack() {
        return false;
    }

    /**
     * Provide white list, entry in white list will not be shown in ui list.
     *
     * @return return null if you don't need white-list filter.
     */
    public List<String> provideWhiteList() {
        LinkedList<String> whiteList = new LinkedList<>();
        whiteList.add("org.chromium");
        return whiteList;
    }

    /**
     * Whether to delete files whose stack is in white list, used with white-list.
     *
     * @return true if delete, false it not.
     */
    public boolean deleteFilesInWhiteList() {
        return true;
    }

    /**
     * Block interceptor, developer may provide their own actions.
     */
    public void onBlock(Context context, BlockInfo blockInfo) {

    }
}
