What is leakcanary?
LeakCanary is a memory leak detection library for Android that automatically identifies memory leaks in applications during development. It monitors Android components like activities and fragments, dumps the heap when leaks are suspected, and analyzes the heap to provide detailed leak traces. The library helps developers find and fix memory leaks before they impact users.
Android developers building applications who need to identify and resolve memory leaks during development and testing. It's particularly valuable for teams working on large or long-running Android apps where memory management is critical.
Developers choose LeakCanary because it automates the entire memory leak detection process with minimal setup, provides clear and actionable leak reports directly in the development environment, and helps catch memory issues early before they reach production users.
