I have monitor the Application Allocation using Instrument. I have noticed that Memory is gradually increase. I just need release the memory which is used by HTTPClient.
I have tried using Dispose(),used using statement,used GC.collect; but those are not reducing the memory. It looks like not effective.
Below is code used in the program.
namespace MemoryManagementStudy
{
public partial class ViewController : UIViewController
{
protected ViewController(IntPtr handle) : base(handle)
{
}
NetworkStaticCall networkStaticCall;
public override void ViewDidLoad()
{
//lblStatusUpdate.Text = "Success Count: 0, Fail Count: 0 -- Last Update: " + DateTime.Now;
base.ViewDidLoad();
//string status = "";
networkStaticCall = new NetworkStaticCall();
networkStaticCall.init();
Timer timer = new Timer(1000 * 30);
timer.AutoReset = true;
timer.Elapsed += async (sender, e) => {
Console.WriteLine("Memory " + GC.GetTotalMemory(true));
await networkStaticCall.MakeSMWebService();
Console.WriteLine("Memory " + GC.GetTotalMemory(true));
};
timer.Start();
}
public override void DidReceiveMemoryWarning()
{
base.DidReceiveMemoryWarning();
}
}
class NetworkStaticCall
{
//int successCount = 0;
//int failCount = 0;
private static HttpClient httpClient;
private static HttpResponseMessage httpResponseMessage;
private StringContent dataContent;
private string xmlString;
private static HttpClientHandler httpClientHandler;
private NSUrlSessionHandler nsUrlSessionHandler;
public void init()
{
httpClientHandler = new HttpClientHandler();
httpClientHandler.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("userName", "Password"); ;
httpClient = new HttpClient(httpClientHandler);
httpClient.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Clear();
dataContent = new StringContent("Xml String Content",
Encoding.UTF8, "text/xml");
}
public async Task<string> MakeSMWebService()
{
Console.WriteLine("Call Processing");
try
{
httpClient.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Clear();
httpResponseMessage = await httpClient.PostAsync("url", dataContent);
Console.WriteLine("Call success");
xmlString = await httpResponseMessage.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
//successCount++;
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
}
return "";
}
}
}
We have tried https://stackoverflow.com/a/27830926 but it is not working.
I have tried WebRequest but it still increasing
