DDMS integration

DDMS integration

The plugin allows to access some of the functionality of DDMS directly from the sbt console.

Getting screenshots

In the sbt console run:

> android:screenshot-emulator

or

> android:screenshot-device

The screenshots will be written to emulator-timestamp.png / device-timestamp.png in the project root directory.

Fetch hprof memory dumps

> android:hprof-emulator
> android:hprof-device

The resulting file will already be converted to the hprof format and can be directly opened in a profiler.

Inspect the currently running threads

You can inspect the current state of the app (also using tab completion):

> android:threads-emulator <tab>
