How to get memory usage ( total, free, used )

I have found this java code since I didnt find anything similar here in forum, but I dont
know how to add this code in timer...

Code:

public static long getUsedMemorySize() {

    long freeSize = 0L;
    long totalSize = 0L;
    long usedSize = -1L;
    try {
        Runtime info = Runtime.getRuntime();
        freeSize = info.freeMemory();
        totalSize = info.totalMemory();
        usedSize = totalSize - freeSize;
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    return usedSize;

}

Use inline java

You can use the lines

Code:

Dim usedmem As Long = nativeMe.RunMethod("getUsedMemorySize", Null)
    Log("UsedMEMORY = "&usedmem)

in a timer tick

Code:

Sub Process_Globals
    Private nativeMe As JavaObject
End Sub

Sub Globals
    'These global variables will be redeclared each time the activity is created.
    'These variables can only be accessed from this module.

End Sub

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
    If FirstTime Then
        nativeMe.InitializeContext
    End If
    Dim usedmem As Long = nativeMe.RunMethod("getUsedMemorySize", Null)
    Log("UsedMEMORY = "&usedmem)
    'Dim c As Class1
    'c.Initialize
    'StartService(Service1)
    'Code1.Init
    'Activity.AddMenuItem("Example1", "Example1")
End Sub

Sub Activity_Resume

End Sub

Sub Activity_Pause (UserClosed As Boolean)

End Sub

#If JAVA
public static long getUsedMemorySize() {
    long freeSize = 0L;
    long totalSize = 0L;
    long usedSize = -1L;
    try {
        Runtime info = Runtime.getRuntime();
        freeSize = info.freeMemory();
        totalSize = info.totalMemory();
        usedSize = totalSize - freeSize;
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    return usedSize;
}
#End IF

You need to check javaobject library...

Code:

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
    If FirstTime Then
        nativeMe.InitializeContext
    End If
    Dim usedmem As Long = nativeMe.RunMethod("getUsedMemorySize", Null)
    Dim totalmem As Long = nativeMe.RunMethod("getTotalMemory", Null)
    Log("UsedMEMORY = "&usedmem)
    'Dim c As Class1
    'c.Initialize
    'StartService(Service1)
    'Code1.Init
    Timer1.Initialize("Timer1",1000)
    Timer1.Enabled=True
End Sub

Code:

#If JAVA
public static long getUsedMemorySize() {
    long freeSize = 0L;
    long totalSize = 0L;
    long usedSize = -1L;
    try {
        Runtime info = Runtime.getRuntime();
        freeSize = info.freeMemory();
        totalSize = info.totalMemory();
        usedSize = totalSize - freeSize;
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    return usedSize;
}

public static long getTotalMemory() {
    long freeSize = 0L;
    long totalSize = 0L;
    long usedSize = -1L;
    try {
        Runtime info = Runtime.getRuntime();
        totalSize = info.totalMemory();
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    return usedSize;
}
public void _onCreate() {
    BA.Log("OnCreate");
}
public void _onResume() {
    BA.Log("OnResume");
}
public void _onPause() {
    BA.Log("onPause");
}
public void _onDestroy() {
    BA.Log("_onDestroy");
}
public void _onStop() {
    BA.Log("_onStop");
}
public void _onStart() {
    BA.Log("_onStart");
}
#End IF

Sub Timer1_tick
Dim usedmem As Long = nativeMe.RunMethod("getUsedMemorySize", Null)
    Log("UsedMEMORY = "&usedmem)
    Dim totalmem As Long = nativeMe.RunMethod("getTotalMemory", Null)
    Log("Total Memory = "&totalmem)
End Sub

this is what I get

UsedMEMORY = 8102504
Total Memory = -1

DonManfred · Jun 21, 2015

Code:

public static long getTotalMemory() {
    long totalSize = 0L;
    try {
        Runtime info = Runtime.getRuntime();
        totalSize = info.totalMemory();
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    return totalSize;
}

you need to return totalSize

G-ShadoW · Jun 21, 2015

Code:

#If JAVA
public static long getUsedMemorySize() {
    long freeSize = 0L;
    long totalSize = 0L;
    long usedSize = -1L;
    try {
        Runtime info = Runtime.getRuntime();
        freeSize = info.freeMemory();
        totalSize = info.totalMemory();
        usedSize = totalSize - freeSize;
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    return usedSize;
}

public static long getTotalMemory() {
    long freeSize = 0L;
    long totalSize = 0L;
    long usedSize = -1L;
    try {
        Runtime info = Runtime.getRuntime();

#End IF

Sub Timer1_tick
Dim usedmem As Long = nativeMe.RunMethod("getUsedMemorySize", Null)
    Log("UsedMEMORY = "&usedmem)
    Dim totalmem As Long = nativeMe.RunMethod("getTotalMemory", Null)
    Log("Total Memory = "&totalmem)
    Dim freemem As Long = nativeMe.RunMethod("getFreeMemory", Null)
    Log("Free Memory = " &freemem)
    End Sub

it's working now, one more question

this is code in activity create

Code:

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
    If FirstTime Then
        nativeMe.InitializeContext
    End If
    Dim usedmem As Long = nativeMe.RunMethod("getUsedMemorySize", Null)
    Dim totalmem As Long = nativeMe.RunMethod("getTotalMemory", Null)
    Dim freemem As Long = nativeMe.RunMethod("getFreeMemory", Null)
    Log("UsedMEMORY = "&usedmem)
    'Dim c As Class1
    'c.Initialize
    'StartService(Service1)
    'Code1.Init
    Timer1.Initialize("Timer1",1000)
    Timer1.Enabled=True
End Sub

and even everything work's I have
warning #9
Unused variable 'totalmem'
Unused variable 'freemem'

how to fix that ?

USE the variable

Code:

Log("TotalMEMORY = "&totalmem)
Log("FreeMEMORY = "&freemem)

This phone which I use have 768MB RAM
I have total RAM TotalMemory = 13635568 how to calculate this value to show 768 ?
BTW, any progress with webdav

13635568 bytes are approx 13 GB

aehm... uhhh... no not really

G-ShadoW · Jun 21, 2015

lol, this is not code for RAM

it is for phone memory ( disk )

G-ShadoW · Jun 21, 2015

If anyone need to check total available RAM using Inline java code, here is it...

Code:

public String getTotalRAM() {

    RandomAccessFile reader = null;
    String load = null;
    DecimalFormat twoDecimalForm = new DecimalFormat("#.##");
    double totRam = 0;
    String lastValue = "";
    try {
        reader = new RandomAccessFile("/proc/meminfo", "r");
        load = reader.readLine();

        // Get the Number value from the string
        Pattern p = Pattern.compile("(\\d+)");
        Matcher m = p.matcher(load);
        String value = "";
        while (m.find()) {
            value = m.group(1);
            // System.out.println("Ram : " + value);
        }
        reader.close();

        totRam = Double.parseDouble(value);
        // totRam = totRam / 1024;

        double mb = totRam / 1024.0;
        double gb = totRam / 1048576.0;
        double tb = totRam / 1073741824.0;

        if (tb > 1) {
            lastValue = twoDecimalForm.format(tb).concat(" TB");
        } else if (gb > 1) {
            lastValue = twoDecimalForm.format(gb).concat(" GB");
        } else if (mb > 1) {
            lastValue = twoDecimalForm.format(mb).concat(" MB");
        } else {
            lastValue = twoDecimalForm.format(totRam).concat(" KB");
        }



    } catch (IOException ex) {
        ex.printStackTrace();
    } finally {
        // Streams.close(reader);
    }

    return lastValue;
}

        ex.printStackTrace();
    } finally {
        // Streams.close(reader);
    }

    return lastValue;
}

Note that the Cache and StrictMode libraries have functions to compute max and free memory ACCORDING TO THE ANDROID VERSIONS because all the code above is only right for the recent versions (4+).
And that's only for the Java heap, not for the native memory. 768 MB on your device is the total size of the native memory, not the fraction available to your Java apps. I explained that many times so a search in the forum would give you all details.

Is there any b4a code that works for all android version's ( Total RAM - Used RAM and Left RAM )?

Informatix · Jun 22, 2015

Java code from my Cache library:

Code:

     *Gets the maximum amount of memory (in bytes) that may be used by the running program.
     */
    public static long getMaxMemory()
    {
        Runtime r = java.lang.Runtime.getRuntime();
        return r.maxMemory();
    }

    /**
     *Gets an approximation of the amount (in bytes) of free memory available to the running program.
     */
    public static long getFreeMemory()
    {
        Runtime r = java.lang.Runtime.getRuntime();
        final long MM = r.maxMemory();        //maximum amount of memory that may be used by the running program
        final long TM = r.totalMemory();    //current heap size
        final long FM = r.freeMemory();        //free heap memory
        if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < 11)
        {
            // Before Honeycomb
            final long NA = android.os.Debug.getNativeHeapAllocatedSize();
            return Math.max(0, MM - TM + FM - NA);
        }
        else
            return Math.max(0, MM - TM + FM);
    }

Also, this library would have saved you the trouble to write any java: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...s-lib-and-osstats-and-getforegroundapp.34954/
It gives you overall memory size though, not what is available for your app.
