I am trying to get opengl tracer working for android in monitor. When I add the name of the app, I am unable to open the app.

It gives me an error Error while launching application : Starting Intent { .... }

And an error saying unable to resolve intent.

Also I do not have access to source code, so is there any way I can get this runnig

I got the answer to it. The problem with it was I was not using the correct activity.

Now to get the name of the activity, I did a 

adb shell dumpsys activity | grep <name of the application>

while focussing over the required activity.

By doing this I got the name of the activity, which I used in GLTracer. Once I was able to do so, I could collect trace logs

  • I got this: _Intent { act=android.intent.action.MAIN cat=[android.intent.category.LAUNCHER] flg=0x10200000 cmp=com.example.overdraw/.MainActivity bnds=[176,1037][304,1181] }_. So the name of my Activity to use in GLTracer is `MainActivity` or `.MainActivity`? – Jorge Gil Feb 21 '13 at 19:49

It is some tricky to receive Intent name, required for tracer. You need to type on Android Platform Tools:

adb shell dumpsys package <name of application> -f

And you will see detailed information about your application, including Intent name. This Intent name you need to put into dialog window in GL Tracer plugin (or monitor)

From Android N am command have removed --opengl-trace, so you can't use Monitor's OpenGL trace or adb shell am --opengl-trace to debug your APP. Only use google GPU Debugger gapid.

It can be also this problem Not Able To Debug App In Android Studio . Check that your application is built as debuggable:

<application android:debuggable="true">
</application>

I hope, it will help somebody.
