Remarks

This is called when the overall system is running low on memory, and actively running processes should trim their memory usage. While the exact point at which this will be called is not defined, generally it will happen when all background process have been killed. That is, before reaching the point of killing processes hosting service and foreground UI that we would like to avoid killing.

This member is deprecated. Since API level 14 this is superseded by ComponentCallbacks2#onTrimMemory. Since API level 34 this is never called. Apps targeting API level 34 and above may provide an empty implementation.
