It is not possible in Android to directly access the app memory.

thanks Erel for your reply.
Just to make it clear: in android it is not possible to access the 'Application' memory OR it is not possible to access the 'hardware' memory (ex; rom) ?
You mean, in android it is not possible to make an application to read the device ROM? Is that so?

It is not possible to directly access any memory.

What are you trying to achieve? If it's for debugging purposes I would use log statements and then export and email the log file to yourself. With the various caveats that apply to these, i.e. no sensitive data should be stored and they should be used sparingly i.e. not inside loops for instance.

I understand that with memory dump you can learn a lot about an OS.
"A picture is worth a thousand words", and memory dump is worth reading a thousand pages.
yeah, i know, its a little bit forced ....

Thank you Erel
