Convert Android heap dump to Java heap dump

[mahesh de]

Is there any way to convert Android heap dump to J2SE (java heap dump) programmatically?

Are they not the same? Perhaps you could elaborate on why you think they are different?

Hi Tim,

I am not sure about the exact difference between these two formats and I don't more information on this. According to the following site, both formats are similar but not exactly the same.

I'm surprised you ask that, given that the second link you posted answers your question (answer: Yes) and goes on to show you how to do it.

Currently I am using hprof-conv tool to convert android heap dump into J2SE standard heap dump. From java I am executing following command in background hprof-conv <<path-of-android-heap-dump>> <<path-to-store-converted-file>>.

I am looking for other solutions where I don't need to interact with command prompt.

I see. It would have helped if you had asked that question in the first place, then.
