3. THE Big Android BBQ “High Rollers drift slide awesome” @5280mark #perfmark @androidbbq #perfmatters
4. @5280mark #perfmark @androidbbq #perfmatters ✤ yeah, you ✤ are you on the twitter? ✤ here is some homework ✤ follow @5280mark ✤ tweet about this talk with #perfmark and #perfmatters ✤ you can look for tweet content hints at the bottom of most every slide ✤ thanks Hey You LOOK HERE ON SCREEN FOR TWEET HINTS
5. THE Big Android BBQ “High Rollers drift slide awesome” @5280mark #perfmark @androidbbq #perfmatters
6. @5280mark #perfmark @androidbbq #perfmatters Colt-joke ✤ Let’s kick this off with a joke “Ugg, @5280mark very low performance on that joke”
7. @5280mark #perfmark @androidbbq #perfmatters How do we define performance? ✤ Test everything, every which way ✤ perfect engineer is the engineer that looks both ways when crossing a one way street ✤ Sphero story - performance isn’t always black and white “a great engineer crosses a one way street and looks both ways”
8. @5280mark #perfmark @androidbbq #perfmatters Sphero Story “@spheroedu #GDGDevFest part of #perfmark talk”
9. @5280mark #perfmark @androidbbq #perfmatters Sphero Story “not sure how this story connects to performance … yet”
10. @5280mark #perfmark @androidbbq #perfmatters Sphero Story “t-shirt story with surprise relevance to performance”
11. @5280mark #perfmark @androidbbq #perfmatters Perforamance at the Org. Level ✤ Incorporate performance into pair programming ✤ Add performance to code review process ✤ Add performance into continuous integration pipelines ✤ Think about user performance, reach performance, engagement performance and operational efficiency performance “a great engineer crosses a one way street and looks both ways”
12. @5280mark #perfmark @androidbbq #perfmatters Talk Overview ✤ 1. #consistable ✤ never hear “but it works on my machine” again ✤ 2. select #perfmatters from 100 dev bytes; ✤ 33 hits from 9 hours of content by 50 speakers “wait, @5280mark about to review 9 hours of video content?!”
13. @5280mark #perfmark @androidbbq #perfmatters Consistable ✤ Consistent + Reliable = Consistable ✤ Imagine a world where project code comes with the machine to build it “#consistable … consistent and reliable build systems”
14. @5280mark #perfmark @androidbbq #perfmatters Reference Implementation ✤ Mac ✤ Vagrant (Ubuntu) ✤ Docker ✤ Jenkins “If the top stops spinning am in the Inception?”
15. @5280mark #perfmark @androidbbq #perfmatters Vagrant ✤ Vagrant is software that creates and configures virtual development environments ✤ Vagrantfile is a recipe for your box, a single file that can be checked in and used to recreate the exact same box over and over ✤ vagrantup.com ✤ commands: $ vagrant up $ vagrant ssh $ vagrant halt $ vagrant destroy “Vagrant - awesome tool, bad name though”
16. @5280mark #perfmark @androidbbq #perfmatters Docker ✤ Initially written in Go ✤ Allows you to “Build, Ship, Run” ✤ Containerization ✤ OSX doesn’t support system-level virtualization even though BSD has Jails (similar) so use Ubuntu via Vagrant (alternative would be boot2docker) “Have you seen the whale logo, its tremendous”
17. @5280mark #perfmark @androidbbq #perfmatters Jenkins ✤ Java based build tool (orgins with Hudson and Oracle dispute) ✤ Continuous Integration software ✤ Monitors execution of builds ✤ Makes it easy for anyone to make a build (source into product) “Have I seen Jenkins on TV before?”
18. Jenkins
19. @5280mark #perfmark @androidbbq #perfmatters Jenkins ✤ Consistently and repeatedly build your project the same way ✤ Great plugin support, can even publish to Google Play Store ✤ Set up slaves as Docker instances, other Pro Tips … “Jenkins plugins make a great tool even more awesome”
21. @5280mark #perfmark @androidbbq #perfmatters Put them all together ✤ Mac is host, has Vagrant inside of it, can see Mac at / vagrant ✤ Docker is inside Vagrant, use host folder to access up: “Super awesome sauce = vagrant + docker + jenkins”
22. @5280mark #perfmark @androidbbq #perfmatters Consistable ✤ Avoid “Works on my machine”, the operational efficiency killer ✤ Vagrant, Docker, Jenkins combine for consistent repeatable build environment, Dev machine same as everywhere else ✤ Incorporate performance measurements? “Works on my machine problems are efficiency killers”
23. @5280mark #perfmark @androidbbq #perfmatters 100 Days of GoogleDev ✤ 100 developer videos over 100 days -- the Google Developers channel is here for you beyond I/O!
24. @5280mark #perfmark @androidbbq #perfmatters Summary Training wheels coming off - tweet on own from now on
25. [1] Android Design Support Library
26. ✤ Ian Lake ✤ Developer performance - work faster, more features, use Android Design Support Library ✤ TextInputLayout lets you handle input errors with less code ✤ CoordinatorLayout is amazing, helps coordinate motions to actions across widgets
27. [2] The Magic of LRU Cache
28. ✤ Colt McAnlis ✤ Cache replacement strategy is a 60 year old Computer Science field ✤ LRU = Least Recently Used ✤ LRU cache helps you figure out which items to get rid of as memory gets low (eg album thumbnails in a gallery) ✤ Best practice: set memory size to a portion of available memory (available by Android call or even better use device profile), 1/8 is a good starting point ✤ Keep calm and profile on
29. [3] Google Play Services 7.5
30. ✤ Magnus Hystten ✤ Topic based subscriptions reduce network usage and improve battery life ✤ Reduce GCM messages sent to device ✤ App Invites (performance through downloads!), personal recommendation is better than anonymous corporate messaging
31. [5] Activity Recognition:Use low power sensors to detect activity No, that kind of activity!
32. ✤ Low power sensors tell you what the user is doing ✤ Walking, driving, biking, running ✤ Ever wonder how Google Now knows where you parked? This is how! ✤ Intent based, better performance than a persistant running service ✤ Activity reporting stops when device is still to save on battery
33. [9] Using LINT for Performance Tips
34. ✤ Reactive process (consider being proactive) ✤ Static Code Analyzer ✤ Correctness, Usability, Security, Accessibility, Performance, Internationalization ✤ Can change specific error levels, maybe change too many views to a warning instead of error because newer devices not an issue
35. [12] Store Listing Experiments
36. ✤ Amplify organic user acquisition on Google Play
37. [13] Get your app found on Google
38. ✤ Maria Moeva ✤ g.co/searchconsole ✤ “before” Google Analytics ✤ find out how users got to your app ✤ Verify your deep links are working
39. [14] Android For Work
40. ✤ 2014: 250 million Android devices around the world at a business ✤ BYOD = Bring your own device ✤ Corporate liable = company bought it for you ✤ I.T. Admin can now group purchase licenses for a company, increase your sales performance
41. [16] Hidden Cost of Transparency
42. ✤ Ian Ni-Lewis ✤ beware drop shadows that have opaque and transparent parts ✤ use hasOverlappedRendering to make view draw twice as fast ✤ you can profile app to find out where to make faster, but improvements won’t always make the app faster
43. [20] New APIs in M for Android M for work That’s a lot of “for”’s
44. ✤ Jessica Hummel ✤ Make I.T. admin performance better ✤ Read only WiFi configurations ✤ COSU = corporate owned single use (think Kiosk) ✤ Can lock a device to single app with a NFC bump
45. [23] Memory Churn from onDraw()
46. ✤ Memory churn happens when you allocate a bunch of objects, kicking off garbage collection events ✤ Framerate drops, steals battery life, bad! ✤ Drawing libraries are actually wrappers around C++ libraries with destructors/finalizers which are not good for performance ✤ Move allocations out of onDraw, make them static or package scope (even better)
47. [30] Tool: Strict Mode
48. ✤ ANR happens after app stops responding for 5 seconds ✤ Usually blocking calls like network ✤ In developer mode can turn on strict mode ✤ Screen border flashes red if a blocking call is made ✤ like a runtime version of LINT ✤ Can code a detection map (what to test for and what penalty to apply) ✤ noteSlowCall
49. [34] Web Bluetooth
50. ✤ Use the physical web to solve the ladder problem ✤ A user shouldn’t have to climb a ladder to view a QR code on a smoke detector ✤ User performance is an important kind of performance
51. [36] Android Auto Backup for Apps
52. ✤ Use app backup to improve user performance ✤ Happens once a day, only with wifi, power and idle ✤ Uses 25mb portion of Google drive which does not count against user quota
53. [37] Custom Views and Performance
54. ✤ 70 standard views in Android ✤ Avoid performance pitfalls when making custom views ✤ Never draw things that haven’t changed ✤ Never call invalidate() when you don’t have to ✤ don’t use draw methods that are not hardware accelerated (GPU way better than CPU) ✤ don’t make allocations in onDraw ✤ dual cost from init + garbage collection ✤ when a view is animating onDraw is called 60x per second on UI thread, each has 16ms probably only 8 after you remove overhead
55. [43] Android Audio Latency
56. ✤ Glenn Kasten ✤ Really long chicken crossing the road analogy ✤ If Kernel isn’t timely you will get popcorn (its a sound) ✤ tempting to make larger buffers to fix problems but better to systrace profile and fix root cause in kernel
57. [44] Batching Background Work until later
58. ✤ Be part of a group when wasting power ✤ Don’t use exact alarms ✤ SyncAdapter gives you network connectivity checks and automatic retries ✤ Share the cost of the battery
59. [51] Smaller Pixel Formats
60. ✤ Dalvik’s Android garbage collector is non compacting ✤ means no shuffling of items when something too large for available space comes in, kicks off GC ✤ Bitmaps are largest allocations in app ✤ Use BitmapOptions.config to use different compression types for big wins in memory residency trading off for some CPU usage
61. [57] Memory Profiling 101
62. ✤ Alex Danilo ✤ Heap Viewer in DDMS ✤ how much memory in heap ✤ update heap button starts recording ✤ heap tab has display ✤ click cause GC to force an update ✤ see what types of objects your app has allocated
63. [58] Performance Tuning Lifecycle
64. ✤ Joanna Smith ✤ doesn’t like weird man smells in the office ✤ 3 steps: Gather, Insight, Action ✤ Rinse and repeat
65. [59] Smaller PNG Files
66. ✤ ScriptPNG can help you find sweet spot between compression and visual quality ✤ If you don’t need transparency - JPEG ✤ You can separate alpha channel and use 2 JPEGs to take advantage of lossy compression ✤ WebP works on API 17 and above ✤ Data compression helps with data transfer not memory residency, so this video is kind of a filler
67. [60] Pre-scaling Bitmaps
68. ✤ createScaledBitmap() requires image to be loaded and decoded ✤ inSampleSize is very fast, reads every other pixel for 2, can use with any power of 2 ✤ Perf trick - use both! Get almost right size with inSampleSize then fine tune with createScaledBitmap ✤ Since existing libraries already do this (Glide and Picasso) use these proven libraries for production code
69. [61] Reusing Bitmaps
70. ✤ Better way to use temporarily allocated bitmaps to escape performance concerns ✤ Bitmaps represent largest contiguous blocks of memory in your heaps, can lead to contention and GC ✤ Use object pools ✤ use inBitmap property, but all images must be same size ✤ Again, Glide library does this for you and just use library
71. [63] Tools not rules
72. ✤ You can’t always trust rules on the internet ✤ Instead profile with tools then adjust ✤ Unit test, espresso, monkeyrunner ✤ focus on problems not prescriptions
73. [65] Fun with ArrayMaps
74. ✤ Many maps use large arrays that are sparsely populated to avoid collisons ✤ ArrayMap for Android uses two small arrays, 2nd array has location hashes for 1st array ✤ If 100’s of items with frequent access use ArrayMap otherwise HashMap ✤ Optimizing performance is a constant trade off, there is no silver bullet
75. [71] Beware Auto-boxing
76. ✤ Small things can lead to big problems ✤ generic collections like java.lang.Integer are not primitives ✤ auto boxing converts from object type to primitive ✤ requires more performance overhead to get underlying value ✤ Allocation Tracker and traceview can find this problem ✤ Colt’s got 99 problems joke
77. [79] SparseArray Family Ties
78. ✤ SparseArrays are like ArrayMaps, using 2 tightly packed arrays instead of 1 ✤ Key object is always primitive, not generic ✤ Have to index traverse ✤ Use the right container for the right memory profile
79. [86] The price of ENUMs
80. ✤ Most common question Colt gets is about ENUMs ✤ The previously pictured web page from 2009 caused much confusion ✤ Core platform team on Android does not use ENUMs ✤ @IntDef annotation will optimize for you but … ✤ Long story short, watch out for Gremlins and use ProGuard and any ENUM problems will go away on their own
81. [89] Docker and Containers: Coffee with a Googler meets Brian Dorsey Longest title so far!
82. ✤ developer efficiency and operation efficiency, let you spend more time on building stuff instead of packaging it ✤ Containers are built on Linux Kernel and encapsulate your system (file and processor) ✤ Check out Docker and Kubernetes minecraft server blog posts
83. [90]Developing for Android Marshmallow
84. ✤ Rich Hyndman ✤ API level 23 is for Developer Preview 3 and release ✤ Can test doze with ADB commands ✤ $ adb shell dumpsys battery unplug ✤ Can avoid auto backup for apps targeting M and above by using “getnobackup” folder — privacy performance?
85. [91]Introducing Bar Code and QR detection in Google Vision APIs
86. ✤ Laurence Moroney ✤ QR codes compact data and are high performance storage containers ✤ Laurence not to be confused with this L.M.
87. [93]Double Layout Taxation
88. ✤ When using fancy features on view layouts you might be getting yourself into trouble ✤ Don’t want the layout phase of the rendering pipeline to trigger again ✤ Expensive cascade of layout recalculations ✤ GridLayout is better than RelativeLayout from a performance perspective ✤ SysTrace tool can be used to find problems in measure and layout that might lead to frame rate issues ✤ Hierarchy Viewer can be used to find excessive depth
89. [100]Trimming and Sharing Memory
90. ✤ Each running app shares resources ✤ Even when in background app can keep state information, graphic resources and heap objects ✤ onTrimMemory callback has trim level 1-100, since ICS ✤ allows you to free up memory to avoid getting killed, reactively ✤ to be proactive for low memory situations use isLowRamDevice() (true if under 512MB), can gate access to certain features
