Hi All, I've been using Eclipse MAT to find a memory leak in my app. Using the histogram I was able to discover that my Activity had multiple instances if I ran the app twice and then ran the hprof dump.
Using that info I fixed one of the context leaks shown by "Show GC roots without weak references." Now I only have 1 instance of my activity if I run the app multiple times. There still exist the following strong references to my activity - note these results are from an hprof dump after exiting my app with the home button: Class Name | Shallow Heap | Retained Heap -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- com.............MyActivity @ 0x43796b98 | 160 | 1,904 |- mOuterContext android.app.ApplicationContext @ 0x43796c98 | 128 | 256 | '- context android.app.ActivityThread$ContextCleanupInfo @ 0x437a7030 | 24 | 136 | '- <Java Local> java.lang.Thread @ 0x4001ab08 main Thread | 72 | 1,176 |- mContext com.android.internal.policy.impl.PhoneWindow$DecorView @ 0x437bab98| 352 | 760 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Is this normal? Shouldn't I see no strong references to my activity at this point? Are my bitmaps never going to be garbage collected because of this? (NOTE: I'm using the application context to load them). Any help would be awesome! thanks. Chad -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
