hey can anyone explain me how to use this code. As I am facing OOM error continuously (reported by leaks canary lib). How to use above code to dump file. I think FILENAME means heap dump file name, how can I get it, where it is stored. I will get it using Leaks app after clicking on OOM error. But how will I get it from my app.
