This is a very simple code snippet for how to dump an Android process (current) memory into an hprof file. I write the dump file to the SDCARD, so remember to add external storage write permission.
The output is a Dalvik HPROF file! To work with standard J2ME tools (like Eclipse Memory Analyzer) you should first convert the file:
hprof-conv ask_mem_dump.hprof converted.hprof
The 'hprof-conv' tool is part of the Android SDK package.
