Memory Supervision

Question

I want to check the current memory situation to get early informed about low memory. I called ActivityManager.getMemoryInfo

The strange thing is: MemoryInfo states 77MByte of available memory but next step fails due to allocation of 192KBytes.

Did I something wrong? Or is MemoryInfo useless?

Happend on android 2.3.3

77MB isn't allocated to your program. As far as I know, there isn't a way to go over the 16mb (or 24mb) limit for an app's memory usage. — NoBugs, Apr 03 '12 at 02:41

MemoryInfo is for debugging. See my post here on why trying to do things based on "free memory" this way is doomed to failure:
