Using LeakCanary with HPROF File?

Question

Short Question: Is it somehow possible to use the LeakCanary library with just the HPROF File and find leaks that way?

I already tried different stuff but failed as I dont have a KeyedWeakReference. I looked through all the classes and I am not 100% sure if I could create that by myself.

Has anyone every tried a scenario like this or is this library not suitable for this case?

Thanks!

If you have an HPROF file, use the HPROF analyzer in Android Studio. Or, use the standalone MAT tool from the Eclipse Foundation. — CommonsWare, Sep 14 '17 at 13:29
Okay. I am already working with that. I though I get more results using LeakCanary. — Highriser, Sep 14 '17 at 13:48
LeakCanary is more for automatically providing simpler-to-understand results. — CommonsWare, Sep 14 '17 at 14:00
That's also exactly what I though of and that's why I though It might be a good try as I get quick understandable results. But thanks for your answer. — Highriser, Sep 14 '17 at 14:04
have you solve this problem? I need tools to analyze hprof automatically too. — Kevin Ding, Oct 08 '22 at 01:46

I found this , hope it can help you Leak-canary provides a Heap file analysis engine named Shark you can either call it by shark api or shark command line

you can download tools from this URL, https://square.github.io/leakcanary/shark/

or just compile it by downloading source code and building from leakcanary github website.

you can analyze heap file by the following commandline:

shark-cli --hprof memory.dump analyze

or just by

shark-cli -p analyze
