Abstract
Every application requires working memory for uninterrupted and efficient operation. Thanks to it, the Android
operating system can function faster and manage necessary processes more effectively. Memory leak remains a pressing
issue for developers, as leaks occur frequently, and its main reason can be attributed to the referencing of other objects
that prevent elements from being completely removed. The constant occurrence of memory leaks leads to applications
starting to malfunction, resulting in errors. Therefore, the aim of this work is, first and foremost, to define the concept of
memory management and its critical role in the performance of applications running on Android. As it has been noted,
the problem remains relevant and is commonly encountered among developers who are involved in creating applications
or working with such applications. Creating effective solutions to prevent leaks leads to memory management which
becomes even more efficient and convenient.
