Relda2: an effective static analysis tool for resource leak detection in Android apps

Tianyong Wu, Jierui Liu, Xi Deng, Jun Yan, Jian Zhang

Abstract

Resource leak is a common bug in Android applications (apps for short). In general, it is caused by missing release operations of the resources provided by Android (like Camera, Media Player and Sensors) that require programmers to explicitly release them. It might lead to several serious problems for the app and system, such as performance degradation and system crash.
