per process power consumption in Android

Question

Is there a way to see the power consumption of an Android process? I have a rooted HTC Hero, and I have developed some native programs in C language. I want to see the power

Answer 1

As said here: Android Battery usage profiling

There is a private API, PowerProfile, for retrieving battery consumption on a subsystem level (see http://grepcode.com/file/repository.grepcode.com/java/ext/com.google.android/android/2.2_r1.1/com/android/internal/os/PowerProfile.java). Also take a look at the code for the fuel gauge you find in Android's settings on how they calculate power consumption: http://google.com/codesearch/p?hl=en#ohAXAHj6Njg/src/com/android/settings/fuelgauge/PowerUsageSummary.java

Answer 2

AppScope is an application energy metering framework for Android smartphones using kernel activity monitoring. AppScope provides an accurate and detailed both per-application and per-process energy estimation solution.

The current release supports HTC Nexus One only and can be found here.

For more information and technical details about the AppScope framework you can read the AppScope paper presented at USENIX ATC '12, here.
