Re: [android-developers] Programmatically determine device RAM

Sorry, there isn't an SDK API for this.  Any number you would get would be fairly meaningless -- often a lot of the actual physical RAM is consumed by the radio and other things without the kernel being able to use it.

Hey all,

I haven't been able to find any calls that can determine the amount of
ram on a device. I should note that I'm not looking for something that
has to do with allocated memory, available memory, or anything that is
at all dynamic -- simply something that's going to give you the amount
of physical memory built into the hardware.

The best I've been able to come up with so far is catting is /proc/
meminfo (... which turns this into a Linux question).

Does anyone happen to know of an Android API that is meant to do this?

Thanks for any suggestions!
