Android :: Android Application Memory Leaks

Dec 23, 2009

I 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?

Android :: Will Code Cause Memory Leaks?

Aug 3, 2010

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?

Android :: How To Find Where Memory Leaks In Activity?

May 20, 2010

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.

Android :: List View And Memory Leaks

Oct 23, 2010

I 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?

Mar 5, 2010

I 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.

Android :: AppWidgets - Reusing RemoteViews Instance Leaks Memory?

May 21, 2009

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?

Android :: Android Tools And Methods Work Best To Find Memory - Resource Leaks

Jul 18, 2009

I'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?

General :: How To Find Which Apps Cause Memory Leaks

Apr 22, 2013

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.

Android :: Out Of Memory Resuming Application

Feb 22, 2010

My application uses a single activity to switch between different views. I premise I'm loading a good amount of bitmaps in one of this view (say the gamescreen view) constructor but I recycle everything on the onDetachedFromWindow method.All the Bitmaps are static and most of them loaded with BitmapFactory. decodeResource method.Furthermore I'm using a gallery wich content is a simple layout with eight imagebuttons.I know all the complications using this widget and all the risks of using static bitmaps, but, I guess my problem does not entail them because my application is running well if I try to switch between these two view (and I've tried to do it about 30 times without crashes!!!) but when I pause and resume the application two times (pause->resume->pause->resume) I run out of memory, and often without the crash message (it just stays on the actual view).

Android :: Allocate Memory To My Application?

Jan 25, 2010

I am getting a "bitmap size exceeds VM budget" error. I have read that there is a 16MB memory limit. In this thread Romain Guy says that "you can only allocate 16 MB of memory for your entire application".

However, my app must be running out of memory long before it reaches that limit. So my question is: how do I allocate memory to my application ... how can I get the allocation to my app increased (within the 16MB maximum)?

Android :: Why Application Has Less Heap Memory Than Others?

Nov 18, 2010

My 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 :: Memory / Resource Leak With Application

Nov 24, 2009

I am experiencing a memory / resource leak on a T-Mobile G1 device with my application. I installed the "Task Manager" application from Android market and my memory usage is not monotonically increasing. It stays relatively flat over time. Furthermore, none of the other processes are chewing up tons of memory either (really, I can get into this state with just my app running). I am not experiencing this problem on any of the other Android phones (including Eris, Hero, and Droid).

The interesting thing is that if I kill my application, the phone is *still* very slow and sluggish. The only thing that seems to be able to get me out of this situation is a battery pull. If I run my application for about 3 hours, the phone starts to become very sluggish. Even simple operations like hitting the "home" button take many seconds. I'm not sure what to do at this point and am wondering where I can go from here.

Android :: Application Memory Usage Monitor

Jun 8, 2010

I am trying to get the memory usage for every application at different periods of time. I have checked the docs / threads / forums, and i only found that you can get the total available memory value, but i could not find in the sdk an api call for getting the memory used by a single application. I know that one way to do this is by reading the values from /proc/ <pid> virtual file system but this is painful for the device cpu. Can you help me figure out how to solve this problem ? Or does anyone know how settings -> applications -> manager applications read the memory usage values.

Android :: Application - Activity's Memory Management

Mar 1, 2010

I have a problem with my application, and it's about a Virtual memory error: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(19790): java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: bitmap size exceeds VM budget

The story is like this: I have an activity (let's call it A), the user click on a button from this activity, then i will make an api call somewhere in the internet, and after the result is back i start a subactivity (let's call it B).

In the activity B i have to dinamicaly load some images from the resources folder. I load the images into bitmaps -> drawables -> imageviews. After the user click's on some buttons i have to setResult(..), finish(), and get back to activity A.

The thing is that, goes from activity A to B, then B -> A, then A -> B for a few times, my app crashes with the message above: it doesn't have enough memory to load the interface.

I can not maintain the activity B on the stack because i don't want the user to go to this activity without going through activity A first.

Android :: Memory Usage Profiling OpenGL Application?

Aug 23, 2010

How do I find out how much memory my openGL application is using at any given moment, including sounds, textures, and everything else? I've been wrestling with DDMS for hours and all it seems to show me is basic object allocation counts. I must be missing something, but I haven't had any luck searching. LONG VERSION: I've got an otherwise operational beta Android game which crashes out after a while on my device (Droid X). I'm fairly sure my problem is that my textures are not being properly cleared from memory. I'd like to confirm this fact before I start blindly making changes. My game does fairly frequent level transitions. During these transitions I typically dump a texture file, wait a bit, then load a new one.

Over time the application performance degrades. After 10 or so transitions frame rate starts to take a nose dive. 10 or so more and it usually dies. Prior to dying I see log messages like this: 08-23 12:26:58.038: DEBUG/Cursor(1265): fillWindow is not executed because Cursor object is closed. 08-23 12:27:27.186: INFO/ActivityManager(1239): Low Memory: No more background processes. And then eventually: 08-23 12:27:46.952: INFO/ActivityManager(1239): Process com.thup.lunchbox (pid 4927) has died. There are no specific error messages of any sort. I've got lots of ideas for things to try to fix this (e,g, glDeleteTextures), but I really want a way to measure before I start trying to fix.
