How to cause onLowMemory on device for tests


I want to test our app for low memory cases.

Do you have any ideas, how to cause onLowMemory on devices?

Thank you.


Solution

  • I just know only one way to do, which is to create a method running in a different thread that does memory leak, make it loop continuously until onLowMemory() is called, then stop the thread.

    It's nice if anyone shares experiences on this case!
