What is "Other dev" in result of command "adb shell dumpsys meminfo" in Android?
I have a big problem about memory leak. I do command "adb shell dumpsys meminfo" and result show that "Other dev" consumed a lot of memory. I google about "Other dev" but no information about this. Anybody can tell me What is "Other dev" in android.
Many thanks!

Below is the Response from Android Framework Engineer (Dianne Hackborne) about the different columns including "Other" that you are looking for.
Detailed explanation for profile from "adb shell dumpsys meminfo my-app-name"?
In a Nutshell,the "Other" Section's allocations can be broadly for any of the following:
- the memory backing cursors,
- shared memory areas from ashmem,
- devices allocating things for you such as graphics textures.
