title: Identifying Memory Leak in Android App
body: <p>I am trying to understand memory leak in the android app using android studio tools and mat.</p>
  
  <p>I have taken a screen shot of android studio while running app and another after clicking GC button.</p>
  
  <p>Now as a beginner in analysing memory leaks or using android studio tools for that matter I would like to understand the graphs below.</p>
  
  <p>How can I determine by just looking at the graphs that my app has leaked memory?</p>
  
  <p>In Image 1 - I opened my app landed on the HomeScreen went to a different activity performed an action (saving an image) then returned back.</p>
  
  <p>In Image 2 - I clicked on the GC button.</p>
  
  <p>Is my app leaking memory ? If no, are my steps proper or are there any specific steps to follow to check for memory leaks.</p>
