Android :: 16M Application Heap Limit
Aug 31, 2009Does the 1.5 SDK still have the 16mB application heap limit? Is there any way to change it? Do you think this limit will persist into the forseeable future?

Nov 2, 2009I'm an Android game developer and I need to ask you a couple of questions about Android heap limit.
Does the 16 MB heap limitation also applies to OpenGL ES textures or SoundPool sound effects? Since they are managed by native code, is it correct to affirm that there is no problem in using more than 16 MB of RAM in app/game resources/assets? If it is possible right now, it is guarantee to be possible in the future?
Android :: Application Max Heap Size
Oct 27, 2009I noticed when you create an AVD now that you can set an application max heap size. I found that when I did WVGA800 it was set to 24. So it looks like it's more than the 16 we are used to.
I there an API method to get the value of this max heap size? I haven't looked into that yet.
Android :: Why Application Has Less Heap Memory Than Others?
Nov 18, 2010My question may look naive but I do not know how to formulate it more correctly. The problem is that I create and use large simple type arrays in my application.
And I get errors like: ERROR/dalvikvm-heap(1763): Out of memory on a 7907344-byte allocation.
Yes, it's big enough but task management tools claim that my application is using only 30MB of memory, while other at the same time use 50MB and even 110MB (have seen once) and there is still 190MB of free memory in the system (not system applications, just other ordinary applications I have installed). If all applications are provided with the same heap size at startup how can they grow so big?

Android :: Need Speed Limit Application
Apr 5, 2010I need fewer speeding tickets. I've tried voting in local elections but that doesn't seem to help. So I'm left to looking at applications that can help me keep my speed in check.
I really like this application for iPhone, but it doesn't seem to have an Android port. It seems to be exactly what I'm looking for. It has a database of speed limits and notifies you when your phone's GPS reports you have exceeded those limits. The database is user-updated so it should be fairly accurate and current. It also has a really classy GUI.
Is there anything currently in the Android market that can help me? I've tried Trapster, but it doesn't have the functions I'm looking for. It also was pretty annoying as it constantly went off for every potential copper hiding place.
Android :: Limit To Size Of Application In Marketplace?

Oct 29, 2010I've been looking for a good application that has a real time speed limit for roads, as I live in a place where they don't exactly like to put up many speed limit signs. Does anyone know of one that is GPS enabled, and tracks the speed limit by your gps location? This may be impossible, but I am just wondering if anyone has stumbled across an application similar to this. Does not need to be fancy, just work.

Android :: Memory Management Outside Heap
Jan 15, 2010I am working on an application for android and we since we have lots of graphics, we use a lot of memory.
I monitor the memory heap size and its about 3-4 Mb , and peeks of 5Mb when I do something that requires more memory (and then goes back to 3). This is not a big deal, but some other stuff is handled outside the heap memory, like loading of drawables.
For example if I run the ddms tool outside eclipse, and go to sysinfo, I see that my app is taking 20Mb on the Droid and 12 on the G1, but heap size are the same in both, because data is the same but images are different.
So the questions are: How do I know what is taking the memory outside the heap memory? What other stuff takes memory outside the heap memory? Complex layouts (big tree) ? Animations?
Android :: Eclipse Heap Tool?
Jul 17, 2010So from my understanding each application normally gets 16 mb memory to work with. This is what is shown on the heap tool for eclipse:
Heap Size: 4.5 mb
Allocated: 3.2 mb
Free : 1.5 mb
Used : 66.7%
Which one is the total memory being used? Heap size, or Allocated?
Android :: Matrix.rotateM Does Heap Allocations
Sep 24, 2010Are you meticulous in removing all per-frame heap allocations from your game? (At least the allocations that you can control and that have practical alternatives.)
While trying to reduce per-frame heap allocations from my running game, I found that method
android.opengl.Matrix rotateM(float[] m, int mOffset, float a, float x, float y, float z)
Does a heap allocation. This means maybe 10 or so extra heap allocations per frame and is the only per-frame allocation left in my application (well, the only one that I can directly control). I am thinking of replacing this with my own version - one that does not do any heap allocations.
I also had some lists that I replaced with my own list implementation because I found that some standard list iterations would create new iteration objects, putting more pressure on the heap and forcing more frequent garbage collection.
I know that I can't eliminate all the heap allocations. In particular, input seems to trigger a bunch of allocations.
I can't help but think that anything reasonable I can do to reduce pressure on the heap will improve the user's experience (if garbage collection is going to stall my game). Obviously there are diminishing returns at some point, so ultimately I have to make a judgement call.
Android :: Programmatically Get Maximum Heap Size
Oct 15, 2009I have an app which does a bunch of image manipulations, and those images are ideally full-screen sized. It works on a G1 (or HVGA emulator), but runs out of memory on a WVGA emulator instance, because full-screen images use twice as many pixels. Fine, I can work around it by manipulating smaller images, then scaling up to WVGA at the end. There's some loss of image quality, but this is unavoidable on a WVGA device with a 16MB heap limit, so I'll live with that.
When a real WVGA device hits the streets in the next couple of months, though, it's likely to have more than 16MB heap per app, for just this kind of reason. So for best image quality, I'd like my app to adapt to this situation, and use full-screen-sized images on such a device. IOW, I'd like to implement a heuristic which sets the image size based on heap size.
In order to do so, however, the app needs to know what the maximum heap size is, and I haven't yet found an SDK call which will return this information. The various Debug.get* memory calls all seem to be to do with how much heap you have *allocated*, not how much you theoretically *can* allocate. I understand that this isn't necessarily a hard number, that issues like fragmentation and GC mean that you may not actually be able to allocate every last byte, but a theoretical number would still be useful.
Can anyone point me to an SDK call I've missed?
Android :: Memory Leak - Heap Size
Aug 10, 2009I know that's a subject which was discuss a lot of time and I try to find a solution since more than 6 day for the memory leak which appears in my application.
I've read this page: http://www.curious-creature.org/2008/12/18/avoid-memory-leaks-on-andr...
So, I don't use static member fields, I always use recycle() and I don't use inner class.
My application use a gallery and some bitmap. I use finalize to monitor garbage collection in each class of my application: protected void finalize() throws Throwable {try {Log.d("FINALIZE", this.toString());} finally {super.finalize();}

View 1 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: OutOfMemory With 9M Free Heap Because Of Bitmaps!
Mar 3, 2010Our app has some memory peaks, which let the heap grow to 13M. After the peak, there's 9M of free heap. Everything's fine until Bitmap objects come into play. Despite having 9M of free heap creating Bitmaps, which have only some 100k, now fail with a OutOfMemoryException!
My theory: Allocation fails if (Java) heap *size* plus external allocations (e.g. Bitmaps) exceed 16M, no matter that there is lots of free memory in the heap. The VM could shrink the heap, but actually does not. Would be quite a flaw in the VM.
Does anyone share this theory?
On the downside of this theory: I do not see anything appropriate (killing the process is probably not) an app developer could do to prevent those OutOfMemoryExceptions given that those memory peaks are legitimate and unavoidable.
Android :: DDMS Heap Dump Permissions?
Sep 1, 2010I'm trying to get a heap dump from ddms in Eclipse, but it gives me the following error:
"Unable to create HPROF file for application 'space.shhh'. Check logcat for more information."
And here is the logcat output: D/ddm-heap(19153): Heap dump: file='/sdcard/com.bunnies.Shhh.hprof' E/dalvikvm(19153): hprof: can't open /sdcard/com.bunnies.Shhh.hprof- hptemp: Perm ission denied.
I've tried this on an actual device (HTC Desire w/ 2.1 Eclair) and an emulator (Donut). Both gave exactly the same result as above. Also, I do have the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission in the manifest.

Feb 26, 2009Ok I am at the end of my rope. I am doing some image processing. I have a large image file which I open and create a smaller bitmap from. At the end of processing I call recycle on everything. I null everything. I run GC manually.
I then try edit another image and I get an out of VM memory error. Bitmap exceeds etc etc.
I am looking at the heap and the secone edit doesn't seem to cause it to increase at all.
What else can I do. Surely google cannot possibly be suggesting that we can open one large bitmap per session and thats it?
Android :: Out Of Memory On Bitmap But There Is Free Heap Space
Aug 10, 2010I have a list view that display about 25 images with size 60x60 pixels. I dowload this images from internet and I store in an arraylist as Bitmap. I need to save it in a arraylist because a listview will recycle views and so I need, wenn the user scroll, to display the image in the new view WITHOUT downloading again from internet
But after some time I got
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: bitmap size exceeds VM budget
It seams that I got this exception about after loading 20 images ...
Reading in forum I have read about memory heap.
I try to check the memory heap usage with: Debug.getNativeHeapAllocatedSize and Debug.getNativeHeapSize()
When the exception occours both are about 4M.
But android has more than 4M?
When the application start the values are a little less to 4M so it seams is not a big memory usage or memory leak.
To be sure I want to call : ActivityManager.getMemoryClass() but this method is and instance method and I can't find the object to invoke!
But this method say, that al min should an application have 16M!
Any help? I have seen many topics in google ... but all speak about recycle. But if I recycle a bitmat ... then should I download again from internet?
Should I store the image on flash memory or sd card instead an arraylist in memory?
Android :: Get Total App Memory - Heap - External Allocations
Jul 7, 2010In my android app, is there any way to get the total amount of memory my application is taking up, in the code. I'm using lots of large bitmaps, so it must include external allocations as well. I must, however, be able to get the number in the code, so that I can dynamically adjust to fit the budget I have.
I also need a way to get the total amount I have available (16Mb or 24Mb) as well.
