Where do I find memory on Android?

Tap Settings > About Phone > RAM to view the amount of RAM your phone has. Tap Settings > About Phone > Build Version several times to activate Developer Options to view advanced RAM info. Close unnecessary apps and widgets to free up RAM quickly.

Why my RAM is always full Android?

The algorithm that the Android OS uses figures out which apps you use frequently and keeps those apps in the memory for faster performance—they will load much quicker next time you need them. The system then removes the rest from the memory whenever more RAM is required for some other task.

In the latest Android Studio version (i'm using the Canary channel) ver 1.3 the Memory Monitor is located under the Android tab at the bottom --> memory.
