Android 系統中應用程式即時回應性之分析

Abstract

As users tend to judge the performance of a smartphone by interactive responsiveness, how various factors affect the perceived responsiveness remains unclear. In this thesis, we quantified the screen-switching responsiveness on Android smartphones by activity switch time for the first time. We compared activity switch time on different generations of hardware, different major versions of Android, for different implementation of similar functionalities and different previous state of the target activity when resumed. Our experiment result shows that while the response time to screen-switching actions is acceptable in average, the perceived performance is rather inconsistent. In the end, we suggest to consider activity usage pattern in memory management.
