What methods can be used to detect memory leaks during memory dump analysis?

To identify memory leaks when analyzing a memory dump in Android, you can use the following methods:

• Object search that are not released: analyze objects that continue to exist in memory even though they should have been deleted. For example, look for objects with long reference chains.
• Use profiling tools: such as Android Profiler, LeakCanary, MAT (Memory Analyzer Tool). They help visualize objects and find suspicious holds.
• Reference graph analysis: study which objects hold references to potentially leaked objects to understand why the garbage collector cannot delete them.
• Compare dumps: compare several memory dumps taken at different times to see if the number of certain objects is increasing.

Example: using MAT, you can open a dump, find suspicious objects, and see which objects hold references to them, which can help identify a leak.
