Documentation is incorrect, leading to confusion

[Claytonious]

The docs at https://developer.android.com/studio/profile/battery-historian.html say to run this for Android 7.0 and newer:

adb bugreport > [path/]bugreport.zip

But that is incorrect. That will give you a file with a .zip extension which is the text output from adb, but you won't realize.

The correct command would be more like:

adb bugreport [path/]bugreport.zip

[ghost]

bugreport.txt does not contain a valid bugreport file

Confirmed on my side as well - documentation is wrong. Correct command is indeed adb bugreport [path/]bugreport.zip as reported by @Claytonious

The above comment from @Claytonious is absolutely correct. The wrong command is mentioned on Android's official page correct is one which I just used and working:

adb bugreport [path/]bugreport.zip

Also, I don't quite understand why we need to dump batterystats.txt and also bugreport.zip... Do we need batterystats.txt? The docs say to upload bugreport.zip in Battery Historian... and it works without batterystats.txt. You cannot just upload batterystats.txt.

OP is correct.
After 3yrs the instruction on https://developer.android.com/topic/performance/power/setup-battery-historian is still wrong.

@mrasyidg Not sure what your referring to, documentation is correct now.

[mrasyidg]

Ah didn't see the versioning.

But still not quite, at least for the 6.0 and lower ON the documentation web page, I think.

Check out the page?

[tobbelindberg]

I haven't tried on a 6.0 and lower but I would be surprised if it is not correct. However what seems wrong is what @liviu-timar is referring to. The documentation tells us to make a batterystats.txt that we later don't use at all.
