Any user friendly android app which can effectively show which apps cause memory leaks on a phone?
I can only find developer tools to detect memory leaks within apps like Eclipse MAT. Sadly I'm not a developer so I would rather prefer just a list of apps to uninstall and not the exact cause of memory leak within a specific app.

When start Activity A, I found the memory usage of application is about 5MB. Then start Activity B from A via startActivity. In Activity B, I created a thread, and traverse file system in this thread, after traversing completed, call finish() and to return to Activity A. At this time, I found the memory usage of application is about 8MB (GC is forced before check memory usage). How to find Where memory leaks? By the way, I checked the memory usage with DDMS.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI've got an Android app developed, and I'm at the point of a phone app development where everything seems to be working well and you want to declare victory and ship, but you know there just have to be some memory and resource leaks in there; and there's only 16mb of heap on the Android and its apparently surprisingly easy to leak in an Android app.
I've been looking around and so far have only been able to dig up info on 'hprof' and 'traceview' and neither gets a lot of favorable reviews.
What tools or methods have you come across or developed and care to share maybe in an OS project?
Will the code cause a memory leak? Essentially I switch between various layouts in my application using setContentView(), and I have member variables of my activity that maintain references to various views (buttons/text views) on the layouts. Am I correct in thinking that if the activity class has a reference to a button and then changes layouts the layout wont be garbage collected because it will still hold a button reference? If this is the case, can I just null the button variable before changing layouts?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a very simple application which has a problem with getting ListViews to be freed by the GC. i have a ViewGroup which has a ListView. When the page with the ViewGroup no longer has any references to it, and I force a GC, the ListView is not freed. The project in question is quite small and can be found at http://gabysoft.com/download/MemoryLeak.zip. If you run it, the first page has a button and a ListView (which has no items so you cannot see it). When you press the button it switches to a second page which has just a button. When you press the button on the second page, it creates a new ViewGroup and ListView and sets that as the current view. Thus, every time you switch pages, a new ViewGroup/ListView is created, and all references to the old one go away. Hence the old one should be GC'd. However if you switch views 20 times and then force a GC you will see that the ListViews are never freed (i.e. their finalize method (which is logged) is not called). Now here is the really weird part. This happens ONLY if I build my project using Eclipse. If I use Ant to build and install the project, the ListViews are all freed when I do a GC as you would expect. Why would the Eclipse version exhibit this behavior?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI was trying to find out were my apps memory was being leaked and was able to discover that when calling registerCallback(...) it would lead to a memory leak after a screen orientation change. What could be some possible things that are causing the leak? I've tried many things. And I do have a unregisterCallback(..) call.

I'm writing a widget. Currently, I'm have a simple ImageView, and calling RemoteViews.setImageViewBitmap(). I'm using a service to do the updates.
I thought it might be a good idea to reuse an existing RemoteViews instance, so I'm only querying it the first time around, and subsequently simply call setImageViewBitmap() with the new image.
This works well initially, but after some time I first start getting "!!! FAILED BINDER TRANSACTION !!!" errors, and later, an OutOfMemory exception.
Simply creating a new RemoveViews instance every time works flawlessy on the other hand. I'm just curios why that would be, any ideas?
I recently updated my Sprint Galaxy Note 2 to android 4.3. Everything went slow, and so it was suggested to hard reset my device. I though I had everything backed up but i didn't. I am trying to recover deleted files. I used the guide I found on this forum here.
My problem is the under /dev/block all the mmcblk files are 0 bytes. Every time I extract I get 0 bytes as well. What should I do differently?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am using kind of results search engine, problem is to remember the searching criteria i made singleton static class which keeps only one instance.In my application there are lots of class level private variables, lots of public static variables, a big util class which contains only static final methods.problem is my application get crash any time any where any spot and interesting thing is crash code always surrounded by try{} catch(Throwable e){} block but never catch, i think it may be memory full issue. I want to discuss one sample case, on the result page i also display result related image, i download image from web and using drawable i place image in the imageview, i created static hashmap to reuse images, some time after downlaod 5 images application crash some times click on a result get user to new detail screen get crash and all code surrounded by try catch block, i am new to mobile program this thing has become night mare to me. Last thing, On emulator hardly application crash but when i try to test the application on device, i am using samsung glaxy android supported to test the application it goes smoth and suddenly it start getting crashed, and after crash android relaunch the activity that throws null pointer exception on every click and caught by try{}catch{} block i think after crashing android dealocate all objects only keep the UI objects thats why when after crash i auto launch the activity clicking causes null pointer exception.how can i stop relaunching crashed activity?

I am about to get my first Android phone. It is a Motorola Flipside (I am on a budget and I need a physical keyboard; hopefully, if you didn't hate me for posting a new thread you will not hate me for buying a Flipside). The phone comes with Eclair, but can be upgraded to Froyo. When I do this, I know that I will have less than 100MB of free space (could be as little as 60MB) on the internal hard drive, but I am not sure how much less, and I don't want to mess around with moving too much bloatware or rooting. In order to get the apps that I have preselected to all fit, I'm going to need to get them in a certain order. I should get the ones that I can move to SD first, and then get the ones that are not able to be moved.
I have heard that App 2 SD is a good program, although Froyo can probably do it on its own. Do I need App 2 SD?
I am wondering which of the following large-ish apps can be moved so that I don't need to install apps only to be forced to delete them because they cannot be moved:
1. Battleheart
2. Battleloot
3. Modern Conflict
4. Plague, Inc.
I've occasionally had some issues with seeing the white HTC screen between switching apps and what not, is this because all of them are on my phone? Is it better to put some on the sd card?
