How to emulate onLowMemory()?

I have put some instructions in onLowMemory() callback and want to test the same. Is there a "direct" way to test onLowMemory function of the application subclass?

Or will I have to just overload t开发者_开发技巧he phone by starting many apps and doing memory intensive tasks?

Thanks.

You could reduce the amount of ram available in the emulator.
