Hello friends,

Here we are exploring what is memory leaks in android and how to avoid memory leaks


Tool:

LeakCanary

https://square.github.io/leakcanary/getting_started/

Add LeakCanary dependency in build.gradle

Option 1: Add object-watcher-android to release builds.

    // Memory leaks
    debugImplementation 'com.squareup.leakcanary:leakcanary-android:2.0'
    implementation 'com.squareup.leakcanary:leakcanary-object-watcher-android:2.0'

    override fun onCreate() {
        super.onCreate()
        AppWatcher.config = AppWatcher.config.copy(watchFragmentViews = false)
    }

There is no more code for the default setup.
