java - How do you simulate low memory in the Android emulator?

Question

Is there an easy way to simulate low memory inside the emulator ? I'm interested to perform resource cleanups similar to this post

Answer 1

Invoke ulimit command from the shell.

ulimit -Sv 10000

This will set current memory limit to 10 000 Kb, so that all apps invoked from this shell afterwards won't be able to access more memory.
