I have two activities: A and B. Starting in A, I go to activity B. Then I call finish() on B and get back to A. Every time I repeat this process allocated memory is increased by 0.1 MB.
So I want to find out what’s causing this leak. I have tried to use the allocation tracker by tracking allocated memory during the process just mentioned. Then when I press “Get Allocations” I get a long list of allocations. My question is: How do I read that list in order to find out what’s causing my leak?
I have tried to solve this by releasing all resources in the onDestroy method of activity B and that helped a little bit. And also, I’m not allocating new memory in the onResume method of activity A.
Just to show that I’m using allocation tracker correctly:
You should checkout this video, it explains memory leak finding in details and is just great 🙂
