TraceCompat
public final class TraceCompat
Writes trace events to the system trace buffer. These trace events can be collected and visualized using the Systrace tool.
This tracing mechanism is independent of the method tracing mechanism offered by startMethodTracing. In particular, it enables tracing of events that occur across multiple processes.
For information about using the Systrace tool, read Overview of system tracing.

Public methods
public static voidbeginAsyncSection(@NonNull String methodName, int cookie)
Writes a trace message to indicate that a given section of code has begun. Must be followed by a call to endAsyncSection with the same methodName and cookie. Unlike beginSection and endSection, asynchronous events do not need to be nested. The name and cookie used to begin an event must be used to end it.
public static voidbeginSection(@NonNull String sectionName)
Writes a trace message to indicate that a given section of code has begun. This call must be followed by a corresponding call to endSection on the same thread.
At this time the vertical bar character '|', newline character '\n', and null character '\0' are used internally by the tracing mechanism. If sectionName contains these characters they will be replaced with a space character in the trace.
public static voidendAsyncSection(@NonNull String methodName, int cookie)
Writes a trace message to indicate that the current method has ended. Must be called exactly once for each call to beginAsyncSection using the same name and cookie.
public static void endSection()Writes a trace message to indicate that a given section of code has ended. This call must be preceeded by a corresponding call to beginSection. Calling this method will mark the end of the most recently begun section of code, so care must be taken to ensure that beginSection / endSection pairs are properly nested and called from the same thread.
public static boolean isEnabled()Checks whether or not tracing is currently enabled. This is useful to avoid intermediate string creation for trace sections that require formatting. It is not necessary to guard all Trace method calls as they internally already check this. However it is recommended to use this to prevent creating any temporary objects that would then be passed to those methods to reduce runtime cost when tracing isn't enabled.
| Returns | |
|---|---|
boolean |
true if tracing is currently enabled, false otherwise |
public static voidsetCounter(@NonNull String counterName, int counterValue)
Writes trace message to indicate the value of a given counter.
