Is it possible to know which apps are using the cpu?

I noticed that something has been using too much cpu, because sometimes i'm using an app and it suddenly minimizes, but it doesn't close completely, it happens on videos and stuff, and it's kinda annoying, so i wanna know if i can see which apps are using how much cpu to solve my problem, any ideas?

Indirectly with a battery tracking that shows system apk usage.
Google doesn't want us to see the truth.
Many times it's a Google system apk doing it too.
So, there isn't a way to see it exactly? I mean, i guess it can be done with root, but i am non-root, and i wouldn't root my device just for something that i will use one time

Nope. Not rooted either.
After having countless great tools available with XPx64 and W7, Android is like a barren desert.
Troubleshooting a newer Android is now like playing wackamole.

Accubattery has a useful discharge current overlay feature... works with Pie not sure about Q.

When streaming vids on the browser higher usage spikes are normal. On all my apps this uses the most battery. All my browsers use about the same amount of cpu cycles/power when viewing vids.

Sorry, i forgot, adb is by pc conection, isn't it?
Yes. Never used it but probably should to be able to access the advanced features in some of the apps. DevChek is one.

Karma Firewall uses almost no battery, it's a VNP freeware app that works great.
Let's you see what's hogging the bandwidth/battery and lock them down as needed. Best firewall I've ever used; it's always running now.
