Overview

Class that creates traces of the calls to the UiAutomator API and outputs the traces either to logcat or a logfile. Each public method in the UiAutomator that needs to be traced should include a call to Tracer.trace in the beginning. Tracing is turned off by defualt and needs to be enabled explicitly.

Summary

Constructors
publicTracer()

Methods
public static TracergetInstance()

Returns a reference to an instance of the tracer.

public booleanisTracingEnabled()

Queries whether the tracing is enabled.

public voidsetOutputFilename(java.lang.String filename)

Sets the name of the log file where tracing output will be written if the tracer is set to write to a file.

public voidsetOutputMode(Tracer.Mode mode)

Sets where the trace output will go.

public static voidtrace(java.lang.Object arguments[])

Public methods in the UiAutomator should call this function to generate a trace.

Constructors

public Tracer()

Methods

public static Tracer getInstance()

Returns a reference to an instance of the tracer. Useful to set the parameters before the trace is collected.

Returns:

public void setOutputMode(Tracer.Mode mode)

Sets where the trace output will go. Can be either be logcat or a file or both. Setting this to NONE will turn off tracing.

Parameters:

mode:

public void setOutputFilename(java.lang.String filename)

Sets the name of the log file where tracing output will be written if the tracer is set to write to a file.

Parameters:

filename: name of the log file.

public boolean isTracingEnabled()

Queries whether the tracing is enabled.

Returns:

true if tracing is enabled, false otherwise.

public static void trace(java.lang.Object arguments[])

Public methods in the UiAutomator should call this function to generate a trace. The trace will include the method thats is being called, it's arguments and where in the user's code the method is called from. If a public method is called internally from UIAutomator then this will not output a trace entry. Only calls from outise the UiAutomator package will produce output. Special note about array arguments. You can safely pass arrays of reference types to this function. Like String[] or Integer[]. The trace function will print their contents by calling toString() on each of the elements. This will not work for array of primitive types like int[] or float[]. Before passing them to this function convert them to arrays of reference types manually. Example: convert int[] to Integer[].

Parameters:

arguments: arguments of the method being traced.
