I'd like to use perf to profile the monkey command on Android, but I got stuck with this.

Normally, when I run following:

  monkey -v -p com.google.android.youtube 500

  -it works (it generates 500 user events for youtube)

BUT, when I want to get the perf stat of it as follows:

  perf stat monkey -v -p com.google.android.youtube 500

I get:

 monkey: No such file or directory
 Terminated

monkey is a command, not a file nor a directory. Why am I getting this? Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Thank you. David

  • What is the result of a simple command like "perf stat ls"? Which devices do you use? – amigadev Jan 21 '14 at 15:09
  • simple commands such as 'ls' work fine. Performance counter stats for 'ls': 5.096439 task-clock-msecs # 0.142 CPUs 101 context-switches # 0.020 M/sec 0 CPU-migrations # 0.000 M/sec 147 page-faults # 0.029 M/sec 0.035980222 seconds time elapsed.. Other commands do not work. Even on a computer. I'm using Galaxy S4 and Nexus 4. – David T. Nguyen Jan 21 '14 at 16:26
  • That works for me with a Nexus 4 running Kitkat and perf version perf.3.0.8_android, with command: `$ perf stat monkey -v -p com.android.email 500` – amigadev Feb 26 '14 at 15:52
