Show the version of the app.

It would be great to display the version/s of the app where the leaks are found. This way you can find regresions or don't bother with leaks that not longer exist if you go on a "Leakathon". The time is kind of ok but I usually install old versions of the app so it can be a bit messy.

Thanks for the feature request!

How often do you update the app version? Would you surface app version name or app version code?

I think we would ideally surface this in the data structures as well as UI (post redesign #1445, in the info block)

That being said, there's also a plan to add support for any kind of metadata (#1519). If this information is in the heap dump then we might leave it to the library user to add this.

How often do you update the app version?

It depends. Lately I'm looking for a lot of regresions so very often. Twice per day?

Would you surface app version name or app version code?

Probably both.

That being said, there's also a plan to add support for any kind of metadata (#1519). If this information is in the heap dump then we might leave it to the library user to add this.

This have a lot of sense. But parsing the heap sounds a bit scary. Do I need to find the mem position where Android stores the string with the version name of the app?

If we add a metadata section probably add the version name and version code as default values would be perfect. It's useful information but you don't need it all the time so probably it's not worth it to add more information the the current views.

I've been searching for the version name string and it's not available out of the box in memory (unless the app package). Therefore I don't think there's much value in providing it by requesting it from the package manager for all users, but instance we'll provide a map API so that anyone can add anything.

The next release will enable you to add this, and the docs have a recipe for adding app version details.
