largeHeap = \"true\"<\/code> does not increase the heap size to or by 64 MB: <\/p>\n

\n

Most apps should not need this and should instead focus on reducing their overall memory usage for improved performance. Enabling this also does not guarantee a fixed increase in available memory, because some devices are constrained by their total available memory.<\/strong> (source<\/a>, emphasis mine).<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Which means using the largeHeap<\/code> flag just tells Android that your app is memory-intensive and needs a larger heap. On some devices, it means it can get 200-300 MB, on others 50 MB. And that depends on the free memory.<\/p>\n

In addition, the memory your app gets is decided by the system, so you cannot set it manually. There are no Xmx<\/code> flags or similar on Android. `<\/p>\n

TL;DR:<\/strong> You cannot specify a specific heap size like you can on desktop Java. Using largeHeap<\/code> doesn’t give a fixed amount of memory to your app; it depends on the device and available memory. And whereever possible, save memory instead of requesting more as the docs of largeHeap<\/code> states (Most apps should not need this and should instead focus on reducing their overall memory usage for improved performance<\/code>)<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
