I am using Eclipse Helios 3.6.2. I use it to do Android development using the ADT plugin. Recently I tried to check for memory leaks within an Android application that I have developed. For this I first got a hprof file from the DDMS view and then converted the hprof file to hpof using the hprof-conv tool provided in the Android sdk. By default the hprof file was not opening using MAT.
Now when I try to open the hpof file using MAT, I see garbage values. Please refer to the picture:

What could be going wrong here?

Thank you in advance.

    You’re opening the data file as a text file in the text editor, not in the memory analyzer. This is almost certainly due to the misspelling of the file name — should be *.hprof, not *.hpof. Close the file, rename it, and try reopening it!
