Is there a way to attach new Android Profiler to debug app process directly after build?

Viewed 4521

Attaching Android Studio 3.0 Android Profiler to debug app from cold start is almost impossible, because I'd have to select process from dropdown (and start record) in very short timespan.

For profiling app cold start, is there a more convenient way?

Selecting "debug app" in android Developer Settings does not help unfortunately.

Well, makeshift solution because I didn't find anything better :

I set breakpoint in Application onCreate to make sure cold boot stops on it. This gives me enough time to set up Android Profiler and select my process. However by starting app with debugger attached, the results might be bit skewed, because debugger slows down app a little.

Seems to be the best option I have for now, but since nobody posted anything I missed, I'll try to do feature request on android tracker.
