Answer from AI

The following methods and tools are used to detect memory leaks in Android applications:

  • Android Profiler in Android Studio — allows real-time monitoring of memory usage.
  • LeakCanary — a library that automatically detects memory leaks during app operation.
  • Heap dumps — creating snapshots of the memory heap for subsequent analysis using tools like MAT (Memory Analyzer Tool).
  • Allocation Tracker — a tool for tracking memory allocations.

Example of using LeakCanary:

class MyApplication : Application() {
    override fun onCreate() {
        super.onCreate()
        if (LeakCanary.isInAnalyzerProcess(this)) {
            return
        }
        LeakCanary.install(this)
    }
}
