when I select the glUseProgram, the Shader Analyzer can not show the shader, just show "Program:418[Binary Program]".

Profiler is unable to show shader code for apps that use binary (precompiled) shaders because the code is never submitted to the OpenGL driver. If the app can be modified to not use binary shaders then you will be able to examine the code in Profiler. Alternatively you can try enabling the Disable Binary Programs/Shaders option (in the Options panel, select System, GL General Options). When this option is enabled, Profiler will prevent the app from using binary shaders. If the app properly falls back to using the shader source then you will be able see the source in Profiler. However, not all apps handle this circumstance correctly, which usually results in the app crashing.

Sorry I didn't find this "GL General Options" on my pixel2 XL setting, Can you show me how?
The setting I was referring to is in Snapdragon Profiler. After connecting to the device, in the Options view (lower right corner), select System in the first combo box, then GL General Options in the second combo box. In the options list you should see Disable Binary Programs. Change that option to True, then run your app.
