android Traceviewer

Question

Hi I am Trying to use trace viewer by

Debug.startMethodTracing("sampletrace");

Debug.stopMethodTracing();

And I pull the sampletrace to a folder from sdcard.

When I try view the tracefile using the following command.

D:\Android\android-sdk-windows\tools>traceview D:\trace\sampletrace.trace

it is showing the following line

Key section does not have an *end marker

Can anybody please explain what is this?

Answer 1

You need to call a corresponding Debug.stopMethodTracing(). Without this call the trace is incomplete and you'll see this marker error when you try to load it in the traceviewer
