How to identify Memory Leaks in Android?

Question

I have developed a simple application before testing it i want to check whether any memory leaks are there in the application. I don't know how to identify the leaks in Android. I am using Eclipse IDE for development.

Is there a good introduction into finding memory leaks in Android apps somewhere?

MAT plugin for eclipse, Just install it and click "Dump HPROF" button in Eclipse.
