Eclipse Memory Analyzer

Still hunting more memory leaks. A few I've found:

Non-static anonymous runnables in my Music Streaming Service

Non-static final AudioBecomingNoisy Broadcast Receiver member (this ends up holding a reference to the service)

AudioManager not being cleaned up properly in onDestroy()

Here is another good article on understanding Eclipse Memory Analyzer:

Android Memory Leak Hunting

I've been spending over a day hunting down some memory leaks in my app. Managed to fix a few, but I suspect there's a few more. Here are some of the resources that were very helpful in finding these leaks:

Hunting Leaks (Part 2)

How to leak a context: Handlers and Inner Classes

The inner classes was particularly interesting as I found I was leaking one of my Fragments due to a final reference to a non-static inner Adapter class. More clearly:

- SomeFragment has a non-static inner Adapter class InnerAdapter

- SomeFragment has a final member variable initialized to an InnerAdapter: private final InnerAdapter mAdapter = new InnerAdapter();

Why is this a problem? Because the non-static InnerAdapter class holds a strong reference to the outer class (SomeFragment). Normally, if I re-create the Adapter in onCreate(), i.e. during rotate, then the old Adapter is garbage collected. But in this case, I had the Adapter initialized to a final member variable in the fragment. Therefore, during rotate, the Fragment would not re-create the adapter. Hence, the adapter mAdapter would hold a reference to the old fragment, leaking memory.

This should not be so difficult, however, this is the best discussion I've found on finding external SD cards on Android devices. The second answer is the best code solution. The first answer is simply an explanation of why it's so complicated. The solution is still not perfect though.
