I can't find them documented anywhere. So what does the values in this Logcat error message mean:

06-28 14:59:53.172: E/dalvikvm(32679): 32679(...) stat: (e)  393  5941KB / (c)    0     0KB / (a)   27    69MB / (h)   730KB  2668KB  1937KB

I should additionally mention that after this message I got this:

06-28 14:59:53.172: D/dalvikvm(32679): GC_FOR_ALLOC freed 2050K, 65% free 4916K/13892K, paused 26ms, total 26ms

  • @Selvin Because I deleted this post. And because beside this logcat message it has nothing to do with a textview or string parsing or a bufferedreader! And because I did not target this concrete message in my deleted question. – matcauthon Jul 30 '14 at 11:42

From Android Documentation :

D/dalvikvm: <GC_Reason> <Amount_freed>, <Heap_stats>, 

<External_memory_stats>, <Pause_time>

Example : 

D/dalvikvm( 9050): GC_CONCURRENT freed 2049K, 64% free 3571K/9991K,

external 4703K/5261K, paused 2ms+2ms

All fields name are self-explainatory, but some points to note :

  • freed 2049K - this is amount of live object freed by GC in this run
  • 64% free 3571K/9991K - 64% of 9991K which = 6494K amount is free and 36% is live object size
