SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires androidx.compose.ui:ui, androidx.compose.ui.test:ui-test-junit4, androidx.test:core-ktx, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps developers benchmark and optimize the performance of Jetpack Compose applications in release mode, addressing common issues like slow startup, jank, and dropped frames.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Release Mode Benchmarking: Measure performance against a release variant with optimizations like R8, Live Literals, and Compose Compiler reports.
  • Performance Analysis: Analyze and diagnose performance bottlenecks with Macrobenchmark, Layout Inspector, and Profiling tools.
  • Use Case: If you're experiencing slow startup times or frame drops in your Compose app, use this Skill to identify and fix performance issues before release.

Quick Start

Execute the 'test_compose_performance' script with the release variant of your app and analyze the performance metrics.

FAQPage Schema
How do I benchmark Jetpack Compose performance in release mode?

To benchmark Jetpack Compose performance in release mode, execute the test_compose_performance script against your release variant to measure startup time, frame rendering, and composability metrics.

Why does my Jetpack Compose app have frame drops and jank in release builds?

Jetpack Compose frame drops and jank in release builds can be diagnosed by analyzing performance bottlenecks with Macrobenchmark, Layout Inspector, and profiling tools to identify rendering issues.

What's the best way to measure Jetpack Compose startup time and frame rendering?

The best way to measure Jetpack Compose startup time and frame rendering is using Macrobenchmark alongside Compose Compiler reports to analyze performance bottlenecks in release variants.

Does benchmarking Jetpack Compose require R8 and Live Literals configuration?

Yes, benchmarking Jetpack Compose performance requires configuration of release builds with optimizations like R8, Live Literals, and Compose Compiler reports to ensure accurate profiling results.

Can I use Macrobenchmark with Jetpack Compose to test composability and dropped frames?

Yes, you can use Macrobenchmark with Jetpack Compose to test composability and diagnose dropped frames, ensuring consistent application performance across various devices and conditions.

What limitations should I consider when profiling Jetpack Compose applications?

When profiling Jetpack Compose applications, ensure you test against a release variant rather than debug builds, as release optimizations like R8 are required to measure consistent performance accurately.
