How can I find the data usage on a per-application basis on Android?

I am trying to find out the data usage on Android on a per-application basis. Something like Android Data Usage Apps and Quota / Cap Monitor Widgets: never get charged extra for data or get capped again!.

I looked at Stack Overflow question How to go about detecting data usage in the Android environment.

But it's not been of much help.

ActivityManager activityManager = (ActivityManager) this.getSystemService(ACTIVITY_SERVICE);
ActivityManager.MemoryInfo mInfo = new ActivityManager.MemoryInfo();
activityManager.getMemoryInfo( mInfo );
List<RunningAppProcessInfo> listOfRunningProcess = activityManager.getRunningAppProcesses();
Log.d(TAG, "XXSize: " + listOfRunningProcess.size());

for (RunningAppProcessInfo runningAppProcessInfo : listOfRunningProcess) {

    if (runningAppProcessInfo.uid > 1026)
    {
        Log.d(TAG, "ANS " + runningAppProcessInfo.processName +
                   " Id :" + runningAppProcessInfo.pid +
                   " UID: " + runningAppProcessInfo.uid);
    }
}

I tried the above code as suggested by Akos Cz. However all the UIDs are numbers, unlike app_79 as you have mentioned above. Is this all right?

Solution

  • The following links should help you figure out how to programmatically determine the data usage per application.

    You will need to implement your code to use the TraficStats API and track the number of bytes sent/received per UID (application).
