Strange that you get the heapdump opened in a textfile when you generate it from Eclipse. Did you actually install the MAT plugin? It's not in the standard Android SDK-with-Eclipse setup.
Note that the hprof file always appears in the same dir, just with a different timestamp. So you can get it like this: adb pull /data/misc/heap-dump-tm1264948174-pid210.hprof myheapdump.hprof The exact file name you can find in the logcat output, search for something like: hprof: dumping heap strings to "/data/misc/heap-dump-tm1264948174- pid210.hprof".
