DEBUG/dalvikvm(7485): GC_FOR_MALLOC freed 32760 objects / 1861208 bytes in 114ms
DEBUG/dalvikvm(778): GC_EXPLICIT freed 1136 objects / 57248 bytes in 70ms
DEBUG/dalvikvm(778): GC_FOR_ALLOC freed 1136 objects / 57248 bytes in 70ms
Can anyone point me why and when these starts to appear in logcat.
Whenever i perform 2-3 different actions in my app the dalvik gc starts, which makes me hard to read other logs.
Help Appreciated.
GC_FOR_MALLOC means that the Virtual Machine is trying to reduce the amount of memory as there wasn’t enough memory left on the heap as it is trying to make room for new objects which are being created.
GC_EXPLICIT means that the Garbage Collector has been explicitly triggered because there wasn’t enough memory left on the heap to perform an allocation for new objects which are being created..
