how to trace memory leak in Android ?
this post is really a question, doesn't contain the answer Orz this big question may consist of several items what is memory leak ? how to monitor Android system memory and performance ？ linux command : ps -x top cat /proc/meminfo not know exactly : dumpsys meminfo proc-id procrank time command-line vmstat and DDMS (Android SDK tool) !! Could automatic track memory leak on Android ? DDMS could help ! but need to do some settings ( group discuss Finding Memory leak in native code ) 0. Build libc_debug.so 1. replace system/lib/libc.so with /system/lib/libc_debug.so 2. set environment variables $PATH with ~/open_src/prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-XXX/bin $ANDROID_PRODUCT_OUT with ~/open_src/out/target/product/ / 'PATH' is used for getting "arm-eabi-addr2line" and ANDROID_PRODUCT_OUT for getting the path to /symbol folder. 3. restart the framework. adb shell stop && adb shell start 4. Add "native=true" to ~/.android/ddms.cfg
