In an attempt to debug my app, I was trying to use 'traceview' (one of
the apps in the the android SDK). In the windows edition of the SDK
version 1.0, the executable is 'traceview.bat'. I was able to get a
tracefile by using the 'android.os.Debug' package and using
Debug.startMethodTracing("basename"); and Debug.stopMethodTracing();
in my code. I created a virtual sdcard for the emulator to use, and
then I ran the app on the emulator and was successful in creating a
trace file, which I pulled to a directory. Here was my problem:
Whenever I tried to view the trace using 'traceview.bat', it said that
the file is not found. This was hard to understand since I specified
the right directory. I even went into that directory. It still
couldn't find it. I finally resolved it when I specified the whole
path using the notation "C:/topdir/nextdir/... etc." If you're not
familiar with Cygwin (a Unix shell for windows), you also have the
choice of specifying a path with "/cygdrive/c/topdir/...", but
'traceview' won't parse that.
Hope this helps someone. It stalled me for hours.
