How to display Total Memory, Used Memory, and Available Memory in your Android Phone using Basic4Android

This is my other tutorial on how to find and display your available memory, used memory, and total memory in your phone. Since Android devices are usually battery-powered, Android is designed to manage memory (RAM) to keep power consumption at a minimum, in contrast to desktop operating systems which generally assume they are connected to unlimited mains electricity. When an Android app is no longer in use, the system will automatically suspend it in memory – while the app is still technically "open", suspended apps consume no resources and sit idly in the background until needed again.
