Hello, I'm writing to ask what is the actual behaviour of Android memory handler concerning a bytes array. Does the Garbage Collector create copies of the array in other locations at runtime? If so, is it possible to access these areas and do a complete dump of the memory at runtime? Is there a safe and secure way to keep in memory a byte array containing sensitive data?
P.S. I just see info at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8881291/why-is-char-preferred-over-string-for-passwords-in-java Thank you for help.
