Max heap enforcer. Makes sure your unit tests heap size, on the PC, is not larger than the heap size of the Android device your developing for (24m-64m). Otherwise your code will rock on the PC, but get an OOME on the device.

assertTrue("Max heap is too high for mobile!\n" +
"This JUnit test JVM heap max memory (" + maxMemory / MB + "MB) "
+ "is higher than the max heap size on a typical Android device (" + ANDROID_TYPICAL_MAX_HEAP_MB + "MB).\n" +
"Lowering max heap size will allow you to catch code flows that use too much memory.\n" +
