Answer 1

• Install MAT.

• Go to Tools->Android ->Android device monitor(DDMS)

• In the top left side under Devices,select the project name and click Update Heap.

• Then Click Dump HPROF File and saved it in desktop.

• Then run the Command prompt and point out the Android-sdk directory.

  For an Example: hprof-conv is located in E directory. So run the command as cd android/sdk/platform-tools.

• Then finally run this command by referring this doc to convert this file format to read it in MAT.

  E:\Android\sdk\platform-tools> hprof-conv "C:\Users\Steve\Desktop\yourfilename.hprof" "C:\Users\Steve\Desktop\leakage.hprof"

• Now your file will converted to leakage.hprof.check this file and open it in MAT.
