A memory leak detection library for Android and Java.
“A small leak will sink a great ship.” - Benjamin Franklin
In your build.gradle:
dependencies {
debugImplementation 'com.squareup.leakcanary:leakcanary-android:1.6.2'
releaseImplementation 'com.squareup.leakcanary:leakcanary-android-no-op:1.6.2'
// Optional, if you use support library fragments:
debugImplementation 'com.squareup.leakcanary:leakcanary-support-fragment:1.6.2'
}In your Application class:
public class ExampleApplication extends Application {
@Override public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
if (LeakCanary.isInAnalyzerProcess(this)) {
// This process is dedicated to LeakCanary for heap analysis.
// You should not init your app in this process.
return;
}
LeakCanary.install(this);
// Normal app init code...
}
}You're good to go! LeakCanary will automatically show a notification when an activity or support fragment memory leak is detected in your debug build.
What's next? You could watch a live investigation then customize LeakCanary to your needs.
