		Testing with StrictMode
		</h3>

		<p>For performance testing, we recommend enabling <code><a href="{@docRoot}reference/android/os/StrictMode.html">StrictMode</a></code> in your app and using it to catch operations on the main thread and other threads that could affect performance, network accesses, file reads/writes, and so on.

		You can set up a monitoring policy per thread using the <code><a href="{@docRoot}reference/android/os/StrictMode.ThreadPolicy.Builder.html">ThreadPolicy builder</a></code> and enable all supported monitoring in the <code>ThreadPolicy</code> using <code><a href="{@docRoot}reference/android/os/StrictMode.ThreadPolicy.Builder.html#detectAll()">detectAll()</a></code>.</p>
		<p>For performance testing, we recommend enabling
		{@link android.os.StrictMode} in your app
		and using it to catch operations on the main thread and other threads that could
		affect performance, network accesses, file reads/writes, and so on.</p>

		<p>Make sure to enable <strong>visual notification</strong> of policy violations for the <code>ThreadPolicy</code> using <code><a href="{@docRoot}reference/android/os/StrictMode.ThreadPolicy.Builder.html#penaltyFlashScreen()">penaltyFlashScreen()</a></code>.</p>
