Method, apparatus and terminal device for acquiring application interface startup time

An apparatus for acquiring an application interface startup time, comprising:

• a recording module configured to record a first time point when an instruction to launch an application interface is invoked;
• a monitoring module configured to monitor a rendering task message;
• and
• an application interface startup determination module configured to record a time point of a first occurrence of the rendering task message that satisfies a pre-set condition as a second time point from the chronologically recorded time points of a plurality of rendering task messages,
• wherein:
• the recording module is further configured to record a current time point as the time point of the rendering task message each time the rendering task message is received;
• the pre-set condition includes that a time difference between the time point of the rendering task message and the time point of the succeeding rendering task message is equal to a pre-set time duration;
• and
• a time difference between the first time point and the second time point is treated as the application interface startup time.
