Get Memory Usage in Android

Question

Is there any API by which we can get CPU or Memory usage of android   I have tried one code as below   package com infostretch mainactivity   import java io BufferedReader  import java io FileInputStream  import java io IOException  import java io InputStreamReader   public class CPULoad        long total   0      long idle   0       float usage   0       public CPULoad                 readUsage               public float getUsage                 readUsage            return usage             private void readUsage                 try                       BufferedReader reader   new BufferedReader new InputStreamReader new FileInputStream   proc stat     1000               String load   reader readLine                reader close                 String   toks   load split                    long currTotal   Long parseLong toks 2     Long parseLong toks 3     Long parseLong toks 4                long currIdle   Long parseLong toks 5                 this usage    currTotal - total    100 0f    currTotal - total   currIdle - idle               this total   currTotal              this idle   currIdle                    catch IOException ex                        ex printStackTrace                        Is this the correct way to do it

Since the OP asked about CPU usage AND memory usage  accepted answer only shows technique to get cpu usage   I d like to recommend the ActivityManager class and specifically the accepted answer from this question  How to get current memory usage in android

enter the android terminal and then you can type the following commands  dumpsys cpuinfo   shell android     dumpsys cpuinfo                                               Load  0 8   0 75   1 15 CPU usage from 69286ms to 9283ms ago with 99  awake    47  1118 com wxg sodproject  12  user   35  kernel   1 6  1225 android process media  1  user   0 6  kernel   1 3  263 mpdecision  0 1  user   1 2  kernel   0 1  32747 kworker u 1  0  user   0 1  kernel   0 1  883 com android systemui  0 1  user   0  kernel   0 1  521 system server  0 1  user   0  kernel   faults  14 minor   0 1  1826 com quicinc trepn  0 1  user   0  kernel   0 1  2462 kworker 0 2  0 1  user   0  kernel   0 1  32649 kworker 0 0  0  user   0 1  kernel   0  118 mmcqd 0  0  user   0  kernel   0  179 surfaceflinger  0  user   0  kernel   0  46 kinteractiveup  0  user   0  kernel   0  141 jbd2 mmcblk0p26  0  user   0  kernel   0  239 sdcard  0  user   0  kernel   0  1171 com xiaomi channel pushservice  0  user   0  kernel   faults  1 minor   0  1207 com xiaomi channel  0  user   0  kernel   faults  1 minor   0  32705 kworker 0 1  0  user   0  kernel 12  TOTAL  3 2  user   9 4  kernel   0  iowait

Check the Debug class  http   developer android com reference android os Debug html i e  Debug getNativeHeapAllocatedSize    It has methods to get the used native heap  which is i e  used by external bitmaps in your app  For the heap that the app is using internally  you can see that in the DDMS tool that comes with the Android SDK and is also available via Eclipse   The native heap   the heap as indicated in the DDMS make up the total heap that your app is allocating   For CPU usage I m not sure if there s anything available via API SDK

An easy way to check the CPU usage is to use the adb tool w  top  I e    adb shell top -m 10
