how to check how much space is taken by an application

Question

Is it possible to get the amount of memory taken by an (any) application on an Android device (internal storage & SD card) via the Android SDK (programmatically)? If it's possible - how it can be done?

open the DDMS perspective (just know it for Eclipse for sure), then choose the

System information -Tab

and there you can see the CPU-Load or the Memory-Usage in realtime.

Yes. It is possible. In the Emulator, Go to Settings-->Apps. Then you will see the list of apps with the memory size. You can also see the free space of internal storage.

I know that way - that's why I wrote "via the Android SDK" but since it was not very clear I added "programmatically". thanks anyway. – yossico Oct 22 '13 at 13:33

I thought, it is not possible via Android SDK – Dinesh Kumar Oct 22 '13 at 13:35
