This app allows you to dump the heap of a foreground app (currently interacting with the user) and you have completely control over when you want to dump the heap thanks to the floating buttons reside on top of all activities. The app requires ROOT due to the nature of how it works and the app HAS TO BE debuggable for the magic to happen. You will be able to analyze the dump file (suffixed with .hprof) from within this app as well.

If you are not an android developer or don't care about memory leaks, this app is probably not for you.

If you were experiencing conversion error (say that only original hprof file was generated), you can convert the original hprof file to a standard one using hprof-conv tool provided by android sdk and then put the standard prof file under the com.redlee90.heapdumpanalyzer directory and then you can continue analyzing it.
