[SOLVED] Error while opening trace file in Traceview in Android

Error while opening trace file in Traceview in Android

I am using ADT 20.0.3. I am opening my trace file using following command:

C:>traceview "C:/Users/androdev/mytracefile.trace"

But I am getting following error:

Failed to read the trace filejava.io.IOException: Key section does not have an *end marker
at com.android.traceview.DmTraceReader.parseKeys(DmTraceReader.java:420)
at com.android.traceview.DmTraceReader.generateTrees(DmTraceReader.java:91)
at com.android.traceview.DmTraceReader.<init>(DmTraceReader.java:87)
at com.android.traceview.MainWindow.main(MainWindow.java:286)

mytracefile.trace is generated by using Debug.startMethodTracing("mytracefile") and Debug.stopMethodTracing() methods in my code.

Anyone know how to resolve this?

Solution

That simply means the tracefile is empty. Most probably Debug.stopMethodTracing() is not being called, and thus the tracefile data ends up being empty.
