Viewing Profiler data

The BlackBerry Profiler Pane has three tabs. Each tab displays details about an item of execution (such as a method), the percentage of time spent running the item, and the number of times that the item was run.

Tab

Description

Summary

The Summary tab displays general statistics about the system and the garbage collector.

This tab displays the percentage of time that the BlackBerry® Java® Virtual Machine has spent idle, executing code, and performing quick and full garbage collection. The Percent column displays the percentage of total BlackBerry JVM running time, including idle time and collection time.

Method

The Method tab displays a list of modules, sorted either by the information that you are profiling or by the number of times each item has been executed.

On this tab, the Percent column displays the percentage of BlackBerry JVM execution time only, not including idle time and garbage collection time.

Source

The Source tab displays the source lines of a single method. You can navigate through the methods that invoke, and are invoked by, that method.

You can expand a source line to show individual bytecode.

You can further expand any bytecode that corresponds to a method invocation to show the target or targets of the method invocation.
