RamEater

RamEater is a memory stress tool for Android phones. Its designed to stress Android phones by allocating almost all the available internal memory to force other applications to be killed and then restored. It is intended to be used by developers and testers to be able to recreate low memory scenarios so that they can develop and test applications in these scenarios.

*** NOTE ***

Please do not install this app unless you want to be able to trigger these low memory scenarios. Also note that phones will tend to run very slowly when the internal memory come under this pressure.

***************

Android restricts the memory any one process can use. RamEater can start a number of services each one in its own process to allocate enough memory to exhaust all the memory in your phone. Because the memory is allocated in a service Android will kill off other foreground tasks before it kills off RamEater services.

Each service adds a notification icon to show how much memory has been allocated, these notifications will disappear if the OS does kill one of the services. Each service will attempt to allocate the maximum amount of memory allowed, but see notes below for Android 2.

To use

1) Download and install RamEater

2) Run RamEater

3) Start the first service

4) Keep starting additional services until you notice that other RamEater services are being killed off (as the phone tries to free up memory for the additional demand)

5) When you are in a state when starting a new service will kill off a previously started service then your phones memory is fully allocated.

6) Run the application you want to test. Perform actions until you are at the activity you want to tesr.

7) Switch back to RamEater and start some more services until the memory is fully allocated again.

8) Switch back to the application you are trying to test and you will notice that the application process will have been killed off by the OS and when you switch to it it will be restored from saved state.

9) You can check how much memory has been allocated by going to Settings -> Apps -> Running and you will see how much memory has been allocated to each RamEater process and also how much memory is free on the phone.

After use

After you have finished using RamEater you should shut it down or you phone will continue to work very slowly as all memory has been allocated. To do this

1) Switch to RamEater.

2) Manually stop all the services, or select Stop All from the menu

3) Exit RamEater

4) Check that all the memory has been freed by going to Settings -> Apps -> Running

Android 2

In Android versions earlier than Android 3 it is not possible to automatically detect the maximum amount of memory to allocate, you will need to select the amount of memory each service will allocate in the settings.

There is no menu icon on the action bar - you need to use the menu button on the handset.

RamEater是内存压力工具为Android手机。它旨在通过分配几乎所有的可用内存来强制其他应用程序强调Android手机被杀死，然后还原。它的目的是要使用的开发者和测试，以便能够重新创建低存储器的场景，以便它们可以开发并在这些情况下的测试应用。

***注意***

除非你希望能够触发这些低内存情况下请不要安装这个程序。还要注意的是手机往往会运行非常缓慢，当内部存储器来此压力下。

***************

Android的限制任何一个进程可以使用的内存。 RamEater可以启动了许多服务，每个人在自己的进程分配足够的内存用尽所有的内存在手机中。由于内存分配在服务Android将杀死其他前台任务之前会杀死RamEater服务。

每个服务增加了一个通知图标以显示多少内存已分配，这些通知将消失，如果操作系统不会杀死服务之一。每个服务会尝试分配的内存允许的最大金额，但看到Android的2下面的注解。

使用

1）下载并安装RamEater

2）运行RamEater

3）启动的第一个服务

4）保持启动额外的服务，直到您注意到其他RamEater服务正在被扼杀掉（如手机会尝试以释放内存的额外需求）

5）当你开始一个新的服务将杀死先前启动的服务，那么你的手机内存完全分配时处于状态。

6）运行要测试的应用程序。直到你在你想要TESR活动执行的操作。

7）切换回RamEater并启动一些服务，直到内存完全重新分配。

8）切换回您要测试的应用程序，你会发现，应用程序会被扼杀掉的操作系统，当你切换到它会从保存的状态恢复。

9）你可以检查多少内存已分配去设置 - >应用程序 - >运行，你会看到多少内存已分配给每个RamEater过程，也有多少内存是免费的电话。

使用后

当您使用RamEater已经完成，你应该关闭它，或者你的手机将继续工作非常缓慢，因为所有内存都被分配。要做到这一点

1）切换到RamEater。

2）手动停止所有服务，或从菜单中选择全部停止

3）退出RamEater

4）检查所有的内存已经被释放进入设置 - >应用程序 - >运行

Android的2

在Android的早期版本的Andr​​oid比3这是不可能自动检测的内存分配的最大金额，你需要选择的内存每个服务将在设定的分配量。

有在操作栏没有菜单图标 - 你需要使用手机上的菜单按钮。
