[android-developers] Doubt about heap size

Hi there,

I have read that the maximum heap available for an app is 16M, despite
that there may be higher on newer devices.

Anyway on a 2.1 emulator with Eclipse/DDMS my available heap shown is
just about 3M, while in my SGS2 real device shows about 5M of available
heap. As you see, a lot of lower than 16M.

My app runs fine on my SGS2, but it crashes complaining about not having
sufficient heap memory on the emulator, and I have received a few
reports with the same error on Google Play.

I am currently doing an effort to decrease heap consumption, but I
wonder why DDMS shows values so low and if some devices may actually
have less than 16M of heap memory.

My app is developed for Android 2.1+

Best regards,
