How to get total RAM size of a device?
I can get the usable RAM memory in such a way
public String getTotalRAM() {
RandomAccessFile reader = null;
String load = null;
DecimalFormat twoDecimalForm = new DecimalFormat("#.##");
double totRam = 0;
String lastValue = "";
try {
reader = new RandomAccessFile("/proc/meminfo", "r");
load = reader.readLine();
// Get the Number value from the string
Pattern p = Pattern.compile("(\\d+)");
Matcher m = p.matcher(load);
String value = "";
while (m.find()) {
value = m.group(1);
// System.out.println("Ram : " + value);
}
reader.close();
totRam = Double.parseDouble(value);
// totRam = totRam / 1024;
double mb = totRam / 1024.0;
double gb = totRam / 1048576.0;
double tb = totRam / 1073741824.0;
if (tb > 1) {
lastValue = twoDecimalForm.format(tb).concat(" TB");
} else if (gb > 1) {
lastValue = twoDecimalForm.format(gb).concat(" GB");
} else if (mb > 1) {
lastValue = twoDecimalForm.format(mb).concat(" MB");
} else {
lastValue = twoDecimalForm.format(totRam).concat(" KB");
}
} catch (IOException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
} finally {
// Streams.close(reader);
}
return lastValue;
}
Tested Upto Android 4.3 : SAMSUNG S3
You can get the total RAM size by using this code:
var activityManager = GetSystemService(Activity.ActivityService) as ActivityManager; var memoryInfo = new ActivityManager.MemoryInfo(); activityManager.GetMemoryInfo(memoryInfo); var totalRam = memoryInfo.TotalMem / (1024 * 1024);
If the device has 1GB RAM, totalRam will be 1000.
As of API level 16 you can now use the totalMem
property of the MemoryInfo
class.
Like this:
ActivityManager actManager = (ActivityManager) context.getSystemService(Context.ACTIVITY_SERVICE);
ActivityManager.MemoryInfo memInfo = new ActivityManager.MemoryInfo();
actManager.getMemoryInfo(memInfo);
long totalMemory = memInfo.totalMem;
Api level 15 and lower still requires to use the unix command as shown in cweiske's answer.
Standard unix command: $ cat /proc/meminfo
Note that /proc/meminfo
is a file. You don't actually have to run cat
, you can simply read the file.
