title: Measuring React Native Android app memory usage
body: <p>I have heard that React Native's JavaScriptCore VM on Android does not allocate memory in the Java heap but rather somewhere else (native heap?), so it won't appear in tools like the Android <a href="https://developer.android.com/studio/profile/am-memory.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Memory Monitor</a>.</p>
  
  <p>Is this true, and if so, how can I measure actual memory usage of an Android app that uses React Native?</p>
  
  <p>Is the memory usage accurate if I use the Android Device Monitor per this <a href="https://shift.infinite.red/react-native-android-app-memory-investigation-55695625da9c" rel="nofollow noreferrer">post</a>?</p>
