to monitor an application's interaction with the system. The Instrumentation
object is instantiated before any of the application's components.</dd>
<dt>attributes:</dt>
<dd><dl class="attr">
<dt><a name="ftest"></a>{@code android:functionalTest}</dt>
<dd>Whether or not the Instrumentation class should run as a functional test
&mdash; "{@code true}" if it should, and "{@code false}" if not. The
default value is "{@code false}".</dd>
<dt><a name="hprof"></a>{@code android:handleProfiling}</dt>
<dd>Whether or not the Instrumentation object will turn profiling on and
off &mdash; "{@code true}" if it determines when profiling starts and
stops, and "{@code false}" if profiling continues the entire time it is
running. A value of "{@code true}" enables the object to target profiling
at a specific set of operations. The default value is "{@code false}".</dd>
<dt><a name="icon"></a>{@code android:icon}</dt>
<dd>An icon that represents the Instrumentation class. This attribute must
be set as a reference to a drawable resource.</dd>
<dt><a name="label"></a>{@code android:label}</dt>
<dd>A user-readable label for the Instrumentation class. The label can
be set as a raw string or a reference to a string resource.</dd>
<dt><a name="nm"></a>{@code android:name}</dt>
<dd>The name of the {@link android.app.Instrumentation} subclass.
This should be a fully qualified class name (such as,
"{@code com.example.project.StringInstrumentation}"). However, as a shorthand,
if the first character of the name is a period, it is appended to the package
name specified in the <code><a href="{@docRoot}guide/topics/manifest/manifest-element.html">&lt;manifest&gt;</a></code> element.
<p>
There is no default. The name must be specified.
</p></dd>
<dt><a name="trgt"></a>{@code android:targetPackage}</dt>
<dd>The application that the Instrumentation object will run against.
An application is identified by the package name assigned in its manifest
file by the <code><a href="{@docRoot}guide/topics/manifest/manifest-element.html">&lt;manifest&gt;</a></code> element.</dd>
