Hi all, Recently I decided to check how much memory my application is using. For the first test I started my application and went back to the "running services" screen to check my process's memory. I got ~11MB. It seemed too much in my opinion. I used the "Dump HPROF file" from the DDMS menu, opened MAT and found the following stats: "Size: 2.3 MB Classes: 3.4k Objects: 60.5k".
So my first question is: Where is the rest 9MB? I searched the Web for more information and came up with this good post: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2298208/how-to-discover-memory-usage-of-my-application-in-android So I ran: "adb shell dumpsys meminfo" - the results are at the end of the post. I can't find my way between all the numbers. So my second question is "how much memory my app is really using ? and how can I see what is consuming the memory?" Any help will be appreciated.
