[Reprint] Android dumpsys

Original article: http://www.coding.com.br/android/android-dumpsys/

Android has an interesting command calledDumpsysTo dump some system information. Even described on ADB manual I think that some points shocould be reinforced. In order to get the complete status just run (will produce a large output ):

ADB shell dumpsys

Also you can apply filters to running services:

1 surfaceflinger 2 accessibility 3 account 4 activity 5. Alarm 6 appwidget 7 audio 8 backup 9 battery 10 batteryinfo 11 Bluetooth 12316th_a2dp 13 clipboard 14 connectivity 15 content 16Cpuinfo 17device_policy

Some examples:

ADB shell dumpsys wifiadb shell dumpsys cpuinfo

I suggest you try other items on the list above and be creative using all the power of UNIX pipes. example, to get all memory allocated by each process you can do something like:

 
ADB shell dumpsys meminfo | grep "allocated:" | awk '{Total = total + $5} end {print total }'
