2. Getting started with perfetto[edit source]
Perfetto instructions can be generated using the recording tool[2].
- Create record settings required
- Copy generated instructions
- Execute the copied instructions on a opened terminal with the device connected through USB, having ADB installed.
At the end of the trace execution, you can get back the trace:
adb pull /data/misc/perfetto-traces/trace
From this stage you can directly open the trace through the web viewer[3].
