Description
For the insights modules we want to provide metrics on a screen level. As of now, we do not track screens per se, but have automatic (idle) activity transactions which offers similar functionality.
In order to no rely too much on future performance features(like spans without transactions) we could the following:
- For every screen, create a long running transaction
- Add user interactions as spans
- Add slow/frozen frames as spans
- Add TTID/TTFD metrics to the screen txn
As a default implementation we can have an Activity based screen provider, as this would work for any Android app.
Implementation Details
For every screen, create a long running transaction
It makes sense to stop the transaction as some point, so whenever the screen is closed or a timeout (30s?) is reached the txn gets finished.
Add user interactions as spans
Right now it would create it's own idle txn, can be turned into a span instead. Should be simply enough.
Add slow/frozen frames as spans
Should be similar to what we have right now
Add TTID/TTFD metrics to the screen txn
This is probably the trickiest one, as the start of the TTID is the moment where the new screen isn't active yet.
If an app is activity based it works like this
Activity.onPause()
is called for the old screen, --> this is the starting point of the TTID/TTFD measurement- New Activity is created and launched
- New Activity.onResume is called
- New Activity renders first frame --> end of TTID measurement
