I've been using the Allocation Tracker in DDM to hunt down some unnecessary allocations and while its great for pin-pointing where the allocations are made it isn't so hot at showing which allocations are the most onerous.
Ie it only shows those allocation that are resident in memory at the time you click on Get Allocations. So if anything has been GCed prior to that its not visible. I've cleaned up lots of little allocations that Allocation Tracker has highlighted, but I don't think they are the main game (because only a few instances of them are ever created and they are quickly GCed). I know that there are a few (as yet unfound) allocations that are happening many times which are causing problems, but when looking at it in the emulator with the Allocation Tracker they are getting GCed before I can grab a snapshot of them. I'm pretty certain I know where at least one main offender lies, but I'd really like some emprical evidence that I'm hitting the right target before I clean it up. Is there anyway to get the Allocation Tracker to accumulate the allocation data over time (even after the objects have been GCed), or is there there some other tool that can provide this on the Android platform?
