When a run a simple application consisting of a single activity with a layout containing a button, the memory usage reported in the Android Studio Monitor is around 3MB. But when I take a look at the app memory usage in the task manager it reports 25MB.

So my question is which is the correct memory usage and why is there a discrepancy between these two?

--Edit - Task Manager that was included with the Samsung Tablet

You can check it yourself by using dumpsys utility which is part of ADB. Details about this utility can be found here.

I think that you'll find out that Android Studio reflects the memory usage more accurately.
