public static class ActivityManager.MemoryInfo
extends Object implements Parcelable



Information you can retrieve about the available memory through ActivityManager#getMemoryInfo.

Summary

Inherited constants

From interface android.os.Parcelable

int CONTENTS_FILE_DESCRIPTOR

Descriptor bit used with describeContents(): indicates that the Parcelable object's flattened representation includes a file descriptor.

int PARCELABLE_WRITE_RETURN_VALUE

Flag for use with writeToParcel(Parcel, int): the object being written is a return value, that is the result of a function such as "Parcelable someFunction()", "void someFunction(out Parcelable)", or "void someFunction(inout Parcelable)".

Fields

public static final Creator<ActivityManager.MemoryInfo> CREATOR
public long advertisedMem

The advertised memory of the system, as the end user would encounter in a retail display environment.

public long availMem

The available memory on the system.

public boolean lowMemory

Set to true if the system considers itself to currently be in a low memory situation.

public long threshold

The threshold of availMem at which we consider memory to be low and start killing background services and other non-extraneous processes.

public long totalMem

The total memory accessible by the kernel.

Public constructors

MemoryInfo()

Public methods

int describeContents()

Describe the kinds of special objects contained in this Parcelable instance's marshaled representation.

void readFromParcel(Parcel source)
void writeToParcel(Parcel dest, int flags)

Flatten this object in to a Parcel.

Inherited methods

From class java.lang.Object

Object clone()

Creates and returns a copy of this object.

boolean equals(Object obj)

Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one.

void finalize()

Called by the garbage collector on an object when garbage collection determines that there are no more references to the object.

final Class<?> getClass()

Returns the runtime class of this Object.

int hashCode()

Returns a hash code value for the object.

final void notify()

Wakes up a single thread that is waiting on this object's monitor.

final void notifyAll()

Wakes up all threads that are waiting on this object's monitor.

String toString()

Returns a string representation of the object.

final void wait(long timeoutMillis, int nanos)

Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted, or until a certain amount of real time has elapsed.

final void wait(long timeoutMillis)

Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted, or until a certain amount of real time has elapsed.

final void wait()

Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted.

From interface android.os.Parcelable

abstract int describeContents()

Describe the kinds of special objects contained in this Parcelable instance's marshaled representation.

abstract void writeToParcel(Parcel dest, int flags)

Flatten this object in to a Parcel.

Fields

advertisedMem

public long advertisedMem

The advertised memory of the system, as the end user would encounter in a retail display environment. This value might be different from totalMem. This could be due to many reasons. For example, the ODM could reserve part of the memory for the Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) which the kernel doesn't have access or knowledge about it.

availMem

public long availMem

The available memory on the system. This number should not be considered absolute: due to the nature of the kernel, a significant portion of this memory is actually in use and needed for the overall system to run well.

lowMemory

public boolean lowMemory

Set to true if the system considers itself to currently be in a low memory situation.

threshold

public long threshold

The threshold of availMem at which we consider memory to be low and start killing background services and other non-extraneous processes.

totalMem

public long totalMem

The total memory accessible by the kernel. This is basically the RAM size of the device, not including below-kernel fixed allocations like DMA buffers, RAM for the baseband CPU, etc.

Public constructors

MemoryInfo

public MemoryInfo ()

Public methods

describeContents

public int describeContents ()

Describe the kinds of special objects contained in this Parcelable instance's marshaled representation. For example, if the object will include a file descriptor in the output of writeToParcel(android.os.Parcel, int), the return value of this method must include the CONTENTS_FILE_DESCRIPTOR bit.

Returns
int a bitmask indicating the set of special object types marshaled by this Parcelable object instance. Value is either 0 or CONTENTS_FILE_DESCRIPTOR

readFromParcel

public void readFromParcel (Parcel source)
Parameters
source Parcel

writeToParcel

public void writeToParcel (Parcel dest, 
                int flags)

Flatten this object in to a Parcel.

Parameters
dest Parcel: The Parcel in which the object should be written. This value cannot be null.
flags int: Additional flags about how the object should be written. May be 0 or Parcelable.PARCELABLE_WRITE_RETURN_VALUE. Value is either 0 or a combination of Parcelable.PARCELABLE_WRITE_RETURN_VALUE, and android.os.Parcelable.PARCELABLE_ELIDE_DUPLICATES
