I am writing an application in which there is a front-end service, a content provider, and an Activity external interface that communicates with the service and returns a list of objects using AIDL. The service really works and updates the database.
If I leave the action open for 4-8 hours and go to the "Running services" section under the settings on the phone (Nexus One), an unusually large amount of used memory is displayed (~ 42 MB).
I believe there is a leak. When I check a bunch of memory, I get a heap size: ~ 18 MB, ~ 2 MB allocated, ~ 16 MB free. The hprof analysis in the Eclipse MAT seems fine, which makes me theorize that memory is stacking. Is it possible? If so, what can I do to stop or investigate the leak? Is the declared memory usage in the Android "Performed Services" section even correct (I suppose it is)?
Another note: I could not reproduce this problem when the user interface is not working (only with the service running)
