The document discusses memory leaks in Android, defining them as the failure to release memory that a program temporarily uses. It highlights the use of the Eclipse Memory Analyzer Tool (MAT) to detect and analyze memory leaks and high memory usage in Java applications. It also mentions common causes of memory leaks and provides links to additional resources.

- 4. What is Memory Leak? loss of available memory when a program fails to return memory that it has obtained for temporary use A constantly increasing memory usage is not necessarily evidence of a memory leak Garbage Collection Stack vs Heap Memory
- 5. Visual Reference objects but not exactly used Not considered as Unreferenced objects GC can not happen Stays in memory for longer
- 6. MAT The Eclipse Memory Analyser Tooling (MAT) is a set of plug-ins for the Eclipse IDE which provides tools to analyze heap dumps from Java application and to identify memory problems in the application. This helps the developer to find memory leaks and high memory consumption issues. It visualizes the references to objects based on Java heap dumps and provides tools to identify potential memory leaks.
