is there a list of android devices and their heap size?
I know how to check programmatically in the app, but I am curious to know.
I have devices with android heaps 32M and greater, and they have at least 512MB RAM. Could I simply assume that all devices with 512MB Ram have 32M of heap? And that devices with less ram have less heap? (16mb? 24mb? ???)
thanks
Not that I am aware of.
Heap size recommendations are driven more by Android OS release and screen size. Android OS release and screen size also have an impact on minimum effective RAM on the device. So the concepts are loosely correlated, but that’s it.
AFAIK, you cannot rule out that combination. After all, please remember that Android is open source, so modded ROMs are welcome to configure heap sizes however they want. IIRC, at least one allows the user to choose the heap size. And there are no rules regarding device RAM or heap size in the Compatibility Definition Document, so device manufacturers are welcome to try odd combinations.
