Verify frame pacing improvement

After integrating Android Frame Pacing into your game, it's important to verify that its functionality has provided more consistent frame pacing. The best tool for confirming this improvement is the systrace command-line program. In particular, it's best to capture a trace for your game using the following set of parameters:

python systrace.py -a your-app-package-name -o mygametrace.html \
  sched freq idle am wm gfx view sync binder_driver hal input aidl

When viewing the output HTML report, you can find information relevant to frame-pacing in the SurfaceView channel. This channel reports the number of frames that are buffered within the display pipeline. By successfully integrating Android Frame Pacing into your game, you should see any inconsistencies in this counter (Figure 1) become stabilized (Figure 2).
