Android Memory Usage

Measures the avg and peak Memory footprint (in MB) of the app in a session.

How does it impact user experience

Excessive memory usage in an Android app can lead to sluggish performance, frozen screens, and app crashes, which can negatively impact the user experience. It’s essential to optimise memory usage to ensure smooth app performance and avoid user frustration.

Threshold Guidelines

Recommended threshold for memory usage is < 250MB in a session.

How to improve Memory Usage

Following are the recommendations to improve Memory Usage :

  • Use data structures that are optimized for memory usage, such as SparseArray and ArrayMap, instead of the traditional HashMap.
  • Load data incrementally instead of loading all data at once.
  • Bitmaps can consume a lot of memory, so it’s essential to manage them efficiently.
  • Use the Memory Profiler to identify memory leaks and optimize memory usage
