How can I find the data usage on a per-application basis on Android?
The following links should help you figure out how to programmatically determine the data usage per application.
Create a network monitor using Android's TrafficStats class
Android Traffic Statistics Inside
You will need to implement your code to use the TraficStats API and track the number of bytes sent/received per UID (application).
Use this method after create a new class PackageInformationTotal.
public void getPakagesInfoUsingHashMap() {
final PackageManager pm = getPackageManager();
// get a list of installed apps.
List<ApplicationInfo> packages = pm.getInstalledApplications(0);
// loop through the list of installed packages and see if the selected
// app is in the list
for (ApplicationInfo packageInfo : packages) {
// get the UID for the selected app
UID = packageInfo.uid;
String package_name = packageInfo.packageName;
ApplicationInfo app = null;
try {
app = pm.getApplicationInfo(package_name, 0);
} catch (NameNotFoundException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
String name = (String) pm.getApplicationLabel(app);
Drawable icon = pm.getApplicationIcon(app);
// internet usage for particular app(sent and received)
double received = (double) TrafficStats.getUidRxBytes(UID)
/ (1024 * 1024);
double send = (double) TrafficStats.getUidTxBytes(UID)
/ (1024 * 1024);
double total = received + send;
if(total>0)
{
PackageInformationTotal pi=new PackageInformationTotal();
pi.name=name;
pi.packageName=package_name;
pi.icon=icon;
pi.totalMB=String.format( "%.2f", total )+" MB";
pi.individual_mb=String.format( "%.2f", total );
totalData+=Double.parseDouble(String.format( "%.2f", total ));
dataHash.add(pi);
Log.e(name,String.format( "%.2f", total )+" MB");
}
}
Editor edit=shared.edit();
edit.putString("Total",String.format( "%.2f", totalData));
edit.commit();
}
After that you can track all process usages in MB.
