Is there a way to impose a memory limit on an Android app for testing?

Question

I'm looking for something similar to the JVM heap memory limit option -Xmx. Is there a simple way to do this on Android?

If you're using an emulator, you can specify the VM Heap parameter when creating the AVD. That's the memory that standard apps will have available.

enter image description here

If it's a real device, however, I don't think this parameter can be changed (at least on a non-rooted one).

Thanks, I knew about the emulators, but I don't usually use them. Maybe I should just for this issue. – biggvsdiccvs Jul 01 '14 at 23:23
