What methods can be used to detect memory leaks in an application?

To detect memory leaks in an Android application, the following methods can be used:

• Memory profiling with Android Studio Profiler: allows real-time monitoring of memory usage, viewing allocation and deallocation graphs.
• Using LeakCanary: a library that automatically detects memory leaks and provides detailed reports indicating the source of the leak.
• Heap dumps and analysis with MAT (Memory Analyzer Tool): creating a heap snapshot and subsequent analysis to find objects that are not released.
• Logging and monitoring: tracking the growth of memory consumption during app operation, which may indicate leaks.

Example of using LeakCanary:

// In the Application class
public class MyApp extends Application {
    @Override
    public void onCreate() {
        super.onCreate();
        if (LeakCanary.isInAnalyzerProcess(this)) {
            return;
        }
        LeakCanary.install(this);
    }
}
