| # Getting started |
| |
| !!! info |
| To upgrade from LeakCanary *1.6*, follow the [upgrade guide](upgrading-to-leakcanary-2.0.md). |
| |
| Add LeakCanary to `build.gradle`: |
| |
| ```groovy |
| dependencies { |
| // debugImplementation because LeakCanary should only run in debug builds. |
| debugImplementation 'com.squareup.leakcanary:leakcanary-android:{{ leak_canary.release }}' |
| } |
| ``` |
| |
| **That's it, there is no code change needed!** You can confirm that LeakCanary is running on startup by filtering on the `LeakCanary` tag in Logcat: |
| |
| ``` |
| D LeakCanary: Installing AppWatcher |
| ``` |
