Question

I made an android game with cocos2d-android.

When I test this game on different devices, the RAM usage is varied:

Samsung Galaxy Note (2.3.5):

• Task-Manager show: about 17MB
• Watchdog: about 23MB
• Debug: about 10MB (Debug.getNativeHeapAllocatedSize() / 1048576L)

Samsung Galaxy I9000 (2.3.3):

• Task-Manager: about 55MB
• Watchdog: about 42MB
• Debug: about 25MB

Emulator (2.3.3 && 3.2):

• Debug: about 40MB

I don’t have a clue why the memory consumption on different devices of the same game is varied like this. Has anybody an answer?

Answer 1

Each of those devices are running a different version of Android, and are likely running different types of software in the background.

If your not experiencing any problems, and your users aren’t complaining – I dont see anything to worry about.
