　　The network traffic generated by an app can have a significant impact on the battery life of the device where it is running. In order to optimize that traffic, you need to both measure it and identify its source. Network requests can come directly from a user action, requests from your own app code, or from a server communicating with your app.

　网络连接可能发自本地应用向远程服务器发送请求，也可能来自远程服务器。

　　The Network Traffic tool (part of the DDMS tools) enables you to view how and when your app transfers data over a network.

　　This lesson shows you how to measure and categorize network requests by tagging your source code, then shows you how to deploy, test and visualize your apps's network traffic.

2.Tag Network Requests 标记网络类型

　　Apps use the networking hardware on a device for various reasons. In order to properly optimize your app's use of networking resources, you must understand how frequently your app is using the network and for what reasons. For performance analysis purposes, you should break down use of network hardware into these categories:

　网络请求的3种类型：

• User-initiated network requests - Requests initiated by the user, such as a user request for an updated articles list in a news app.

  用户手动发起，如更新应用。

• App-initiated network requests - Requests initiated within Android app code that are not used to immediately satisfy a user action, such as an app request to cache the text of unread articles in a news app.

  应用内部代码向远程服务器发起请求。

• Server-initiated network requests - Requests initiated by a server to your app that are not used to immediately satisfy a user action, such as notification of a newly available article in a news app.

  远程服务器向应用发送推送。

　　This procedure shows you how to tag your app's source code with constants to categorize traffic as one of these three request types. The Network Traffic tool represents each type of traffic with a different color, so you can visualize and optimize each traffic stream separately. The technique described here reports network traffic based on the execution of threads in your app which you identify as a user, app or server source.

　Network Traffic 工具把每种网络请求按颜色分开。

　下面是使用TrafficStats类在代码中标识3种网络请求类型的方法：

1. In your app's development project, define three constants to represent the different types of network use:

   public static final int USER_INITIATED = 0x1000;
   public static final int APP_INITIATED = 0x2000;
   public static final int SERVER_INITIATED =0x3000;

2. Find networking code in your app by searching for the most common classes used for this purpose:
   1. In Android Studio, choose Edit > Find > Find in Path.
   2. Paste the following string into the Text to find field:
      

      extends GcmTaskService|
      extends JobService|
      extends AbstractThreadedSyncAdapter|
      HttpUrlConnection|Volley|Glide|HttpClient

   3. Check Regular expression.
   4. Check File mask(s) and type *.java.
   5. Click the Find button.
3. Based on your findings in the previous step, tag your app's use of network traffic by adding the setThreadStatsTag(int) method to each execution thread in your app that uses network resources, as shown in the following code example.

   if (BuildConfig.NETWORK-TEST && Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 14) {
       try {
           TrafficStats.setThreadStatsTag(USER_INITIATED);
           // make network request using HttpClient.execute()
       } finally {
           TrafficStats.clearThreadStatsTag();
       }
   }

   Note: Ensure the tagging does not get into your production code by making inclusion of this code conditional, based on the build type used to generate the APK. In the example above, the BuildConfig.NETWORK-TEST field identifies this APK as a test version.

　　Note: This technique for tagging network traffic from your app depends on how the APIs that you are using access and manage network sockets. Some networking libraries may not allow the TrafficStats utilities to tag traffic from your app.

3.Configure a Network Test Build Type 在as中配置测试模式才能测试网络

　　When you run performance tests, your APK should be as close as possible to the production build. In order to achieve this for your network testing, create a network-test build type, rather than using debug build type.

1. Open your app in Android Studio.
2. Create a debuggable build type for your network test by modifying your project's build.gradle file as shown in the following code example:

   android {
       ...
       buildTypes {
           debug {
               // debuggable true is default for the debug buildType
           }
           network-test {
               debuggable true
           }
       }
       ...
   } 

4.Deploy the Network Test APK 部属网络测试的apk

　　To deploy the APK generated by the network-test build type configured in the previous proceedure:

1. Check that Developer Options are enabled on your test device. For information about how to check and enable this option, see Using Hardware Devices.
2. Using a USB cable, connect your test device to your development computer.
3. In Android Studio, select Build Variants on the left edge of the window.
4. Click the Sync Project with Gradle Files button to populate the Build Variants list with network-test for the app module.
5. Choose network-test from the list.
6. Deploy the debuggable version of your app to your device by choosing Run > Debug.

5.Run Network Traffic Tool

　　The Network Traffic tool in Android Studio helps you see how your app uses network resources in real time, while it is running.

　　To improve the repeatability of your testing, you should start with a known initial state for your app by clearing app data. The following procedure includes a step that shows you how to clear all app data including previously cached data and networking data. This step puts your app back to a state where it must re-cache all previously cached data. Do not skip this step.

　Network Traffic工具测试app网络请求时，就保证app启动时没有缓存数据。注意，这步是必需的。

　　To start the Network Traffic tool and visualize the network requests:

1. Start the Network Traffic tool by launching Android Studio and choosing Tools > Android > Android Device Monitor. When asked, allow incoming network connections.
2. In the Android Device Monitor window, click the DDMS button along the top and choose the Network Statistics tab. If you don't see this tab, widen the window and then try Window > Reset Perspective.
3. Select your app to debug from the list of debuggable apps on your device in the Devices tab, then click theStart button in the Network Statistics tab.

   Note: You may be prompted to Allow USB Debugging on your device. Select OK to allow debugging to proceed.

4. Clear your app data using the following adb command:

   adb shell pm clear package.name.of.app

5. Start your app and run a testing plan that exercises your app's primary use cases. Your plan should also allow for app idle time, where the user is not interacting with the app, to allow app-initiated and server-initiated network access to occur.
6. Repeat the test by clearing the app data and running your test plan again. You should repeat the test a few times to verify the repeatability of your performance data.

　　Use of tagging for network traffic helps you visually distinguish each request category by producing a different color for each network traffic in the Network Traffic tool, as shown in Figure 1.
