Set up your device

To use Streamline, set up an Android device with the application you want to profile.

Before you begin

Set up your host machine

Procedure

  1. Ensure that Developer Mode is enabled, then enable USB Debugging by selecting Settings → Developer options.

  2. Connect the device to the host through USB and approve the debug connection when prompted. If the connection is successful, running the adb devices command on the host returns the ID of your device, and you can run adb shell.

  3. To profile a debuggable application, build and install the application with the appropriate settings:

    • For Unity applications, select the Development Build option in the Build Settings.

    • For applications that are not built with Unity, ensure it is marked as debuggable in the Android application manifest. See how to debug your application in the Android Studio documentation.

    Note

    This step is not required when building non-debuggable applications, for profiling on a development device with root access.
