Profiler

A really basic in-app profiler for Xamarin and UWP applications.

Usage

Memory

A memory profiler is available and will track a set of registered instances in a loop (be careful, this process is heavy and don't activate this functionality in production).

Instance registration

First, register any instance you want to profile

public ViewController()
{
	Debugging.Profiler.Default.Memory.Register(this);
}

You can also define a unique key (by default its instance HashCode).

public ViewController()
{
	Debugging.Profiler.Default.Memory.Register(this, "MyVC");
}

Finally, you can track and log properties on your profiled instances.

public ViewController()
{
	Debugging.Profiler.Default.Memory.Register(this, nameof(Title));
}

Start profiling

Debugging.Profiler.Default.Start();

View

To display the profiler view use the Show method.

Debugging.Profiler.Default.Show();

A shake gesture is a common scenario for showing this view.

// iOS : AppDelegate
UIApplication.SharedApplication.ApplicationSupportsShakeToEdit = true;

// iOS : Root view controller
public override void MotionEnded(UIEventSubtype motion, UIEvent evt)
{
	if (motion == UIEventSubtype.MotionShake)
	{
		Debugging.Profiler.Default.Show();
	}
}

// Android : Activities
private ShakeListener shake;

protected override void OnResume()
{
	base.OnResume();

	shake = ShakeListener.Register(this);
	shake.Shaked += OnShaked;
}

protected override void OnPause()
{
	base.OnPause();

	shake.Unregister();
}

private void OnShaked(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
	shake.Shaked -= OnShaked;
	Debugging.Profiler.Default.Show(this);
}

Roadmap
