<topic_start>Using the Logging view
info Note
The logging view works with all Flutter and Dart applications.<topic_end>
<topic_start>
What is it?
The logging view displays events from the Dart runtime,
application frameworks (like Flutter), and application-level
logging events.<topic_end>
<topic_start>
Standard logging events
By default, the logging view shows:<topic_end>

Logging from your application

Clearing logs
To clear the log entries in the logging view,
click the Clear logs button.<topic_end>

<topic_start>Using the app size tool
<topic_end>
<topic_start>
What is it?
The app size tool allows you to analyze the total size of your app.
You can view a single snapshot of “size information”
using the Analysis tab, or compare two different
snapshots of “size information” using the Diff tab.<topic_end>
<topic_start>
What is “size information”?
“Size information” contains size data for Dart code,
native code, and non-code elements of your app,
like the application package, assets and fonts. A “size
information” file contains data for the total picture
of your application size.<topic_end>
<topic_start>
Dart size information
The Dart AOT compiler performs tree-shaking on your code
when compiling your application (profile or release mode
only—the AOT compiler is not used for debug builds,
which are JIT compiled). This means that the compiler
attempts to optimize your app’s size by removing
pieces of code that are unused or unreachable.After the compiler optimizes your code as much as it can,
the end result can be summarized as the collection of packages,
libraries, classes, and functions that exist in the binary output,
along with their size in bytes. This is the Dart portion of
“size information” we can analyze in the app size tool to further
optimize Dart code and track down size issues.<topic_end>
<topic_start>
How to use it
If DevTools is already connected to a running application,
navigate to the “App Size” tab.If DevTools is not connected to a running application, you can
access the tool from the landing page that appears once you have launched
DevTools (see installation instructions).<topic_end>
<topic_start>
Analysis tab
The analysis tab allows you to inspect a single snapshot
of size information. You can view the hierarchical structure
of the size data using the treemap and table,
and you can view code attribution data
(for example, why a piece of code is included in your compiled
application) using the dominator tree and call graph.<topic_end>
<topic_start>
Loading a size file
When you open the Analysis tab, you’ll see instructions
to load an app size file. Drag and drop an app size
file into the dialog, and click “Analyze Size”.See Generating size files below for information on
generating size files.<topic_end>
<topic_start>
Treemap and table
The treemap and table show the hierarchical data for your app’s size.<topic_end>
<topic_start>Using the treemap
A treemap is a visualization for hierarchical data.
The space is broken up into rectangles,
where each rectangle is sized and ordered by some quantitative
variable (in this case, size in bytes).
The area of each rectangle is proportional to the size
the node occupies in the compiled application. Inside
of each rectangle (call one A), there are additional
rectangles that exist one level deeper in the data
hierarchy (children of A).To drill into a cell in the treemap, select the cell.
This re-roots the tree so that the selected cell becomes
