I need to check my application for memory leaks, i also need to see the memory allocation of my application. I downloaded and installed eclipse memory analyzer, and it looks like the first step is to open a heap dump. But what is a heap dump, how can i create a heap dump. And how exactly am i going to use this software, I did some googling but i couldn't find any useful information thanks

Use the Eclipse Memory Analyzer You may need to refresh your project (F5 on the project). Double-click the file and select the Leak Suspects Report. The overview page allows you to start the analysis of the heap dump. The dominator tree gives quickly an overview of the used objects.
With the Memory Analyzer feature installed, try Window -> Open Perspective -> Other... , then select Memory Analyzer and OK. Once the MA perspecive is open, one should be able to see the Memory Analyzer specific Eclipse menus.
When you debug your app, open DDMS in Eclipse. On the toolbar there is a heap dump button that you can use to generate a heap dump to view in Eclipse memory analyzer. This is only supported I think with the 1.6+ or 2.0+ SDK.
