Memory Available to JVM is too small...

[afezuh_z]

Hello There ... !!


I write a small application to figure out how much free memory is available

display.setCurrent(new Alert("Free Memory, Total Memory ", "Free  Memory=" +String.valueOf(Runtime.getRuntime().freeMemory()/1024) +" KB And Total Memory Memory=" +String.valueOf(Runtime.getRuntime().totalMemory()/1024) +" KB", null, AlertType.INFO) , lt);

The Result was on Nokia N95
Free Memory=250 KB And Total Memory= 500 KB

I was surprised to see this result.......

I was asuming that I have atleast 2MB for Java JVM.....


Can I increse this memory size......

However Storage Memmory is more than 100 MB on Phone Memory...

Comment are welcomed on this issue.....

try to make an object which needs more space, like a 300x300 pixels Image (empty)...
U will notice that the JVM will dynamically allocate more or less memory depending on its own expectattions of whats needed..

So the numbers u are mentioning are NOT constant ! Not even on the same mobile !

Okay....


But I am try to store create a buffer of 50 KB byte array...
then it is not supporting at all ....

I have a write which read the 50KB of data from the file and writes it to the HttpOutputStream.....but when I try to do it my application terminates .... automatically without any exception..

And

When the same thing I tried to do, with 10KB it is working...

then why it is happening so........

Hello Huzefa,

I write a small application to figure out how much free memory is available

Code:..

Based on the code, you're using

Runtime.getRuntime();

which could be the reason for the dubious memory info. Usage of

com.nokia.memoryramfree

is encouraged for more accurate info.

Well, Thankx r2j7 !


I have studied the link prvided by you,


But the problem is still there,............
Although, it is transfering the 200KB on emulator...

Why in my case Heap Memory is not increasing ????

From what I see there are 3 kinds of memory the total ram, the available (total minus other applications), and the memory that the JVM allocates for you're application(at any given time) so determining the memory is a fools game IMHO.
