It is useful, just look at the GC roots of an object to know whether it will be collected or not. We use hprof all the time on the Android team to track down memory issues (leaks or not) and we find it extremely valuable. It becomes even easier to use when you rely on a visualization tool like MAT. -- Romain Guy Android framework engineer romain...@android.com Note: please don't send private questions to me, as I don't have time to provide private support.
