I was watching the Google I/O video on Memory Management, and the presenter said that if you open a heap dump in MAT that you obtained from DDMS you have to convert it with the hprof tool with a -conv flag. He invoked this at the command line, so I attempted to do the same. I am on Windows, and I get an error that the command does not exist. Is this command not part of the Android, Eclipse or MAT tools? Since there was no mention of any additional install required, I expected to find this in the eclipse or mat directories as a .bat file or something to that effect.
I know that I can generate it from within Eclipse, but then I have to go hunting through my AppData for the temp file generated. When I generate the heap dump in Eclipse, the dump is saved to a temp file which is opened as plain text in the editor. I'm unable to save this because I get an error that "some characters cannot be mapped using "Cp1252" char encoding". I read that the way to set another default encoding (UTF-8, for example) that would allow me to save it is to go to File - Properties. The problem is that when I attempt to do that, I get another error dialog saying that there are no property pages for xxxx.hprof. I am able to navigate into my temp directory and pull out the hprof file and open in MAT, but that's a bit of a pain. Anyone have any recommendations on either or both issues? Thanks!
