I myself have the same issue.
I'm looking for a way to automatically generate the hprof data without
having to click DDMS buttons.
I'm particularly interested in running an app , say, using monkey, send
some random events and take the dump.
it seems kill -10 <pid> doesn't work for icecream sandwich simulator.
Can anybody suggest a reliable command-line based tool, or some python/java
api that lets me do that?
thanks !
