Can you explain what LeakCanary is and what it is used for in Android app development?

LeakCanary is an open-source library for Android that helps automatically detect memory leaks in applications.

It works as follows:

• Monitors the lifecycle of objects and activities.
• When a potential memory leak is suspected (for example, when an object is not released after an Activity is destroyed), it triggers a memory dump analysis.
• Provides a detailed report indicating the chain of references preventing the object from being released.

Using LeakCanary helps developers quickly find and fix memory leaks, improving the application's performance and stability.
