I need to get the total cpu time of a process in android. I am trying to use adb shell top commands, but it gives only cpu usage in terms of percentage.

But I need the total cpu time of the process. I can get this info in my Ubuntu, but I could not find a way to get the TIME+ column in android.

Any suggestions?

  • Is your question restricted to shell use -- or would other options be helpful as well? – Izzy Sep 27 '12 at 12:53

This little shell script I just wrote should work. It parses /proc/<PID>/stat.

#!/system/bin/sh

if [ $# -ne 1 ]
then
    echo "Please provide a PID"
    exit 0
fi

pid=$1
stat=/proc/${pid}/stat
line=$(sed 's|.*) ||' $stat)
utime=$(echo $line | awk '{print $12}')
stime=$(echo $line | awk '{print $13}')
cputime=$((10 * $stime + $utime))
echo $cputime # milliseconds

  • I am a noob in adb, so help me how to run this. I used cat > cpuinfo to create this as a file but can't run it because permission denied. chmod u+x cpuinfo tells me Operation not permitted. Out of luck on non-rooted phone? – Vitas Jan 09 '17 at 22:50

You didn't mention which version of Android you are running, but I believe this will work in most modern versions. The exact location within the settings may change depending on version and device manufacturer.

If you go in to Settings -> Battery and then select an app, you get some or all of the following details:

  • CPU total time in seconds
  • Keep awake time in seconds
  • Data send
  • Data received

I believe these details are valid from the last time the device booted.
