    <p>I want to estimate the size taken up by an object. To get the object's size I can just use </p> <p>To do so I might use <code>Instrumentation.getObjectSize(myObject)</code>, but this will give me a "shallow" size. I want to get the size of the Object, including the sizes of the objects it references.</p> <p>My thought is that I need to get the size of the object, then go through all the object's fields that are not static or primitives and get the size for the objects that they point to and do this recursively.</p> <p>Of course, I don't want to count an object size a few times, or get stuck in a loop, So I'll have to remember the objects which size we already counted.</p> <p>Is there a faster, or a more standard, way to do this?</p> <p>My code looks like this:</p> <pre><code>public static long getObjectSize(Object obj) { return getObjectSize(obj, new HashSet&lt;Object&gt;()); } private static long getObjectSize(Object obj, Set&lt;Object&gt; encountered) { if (encountered.contains(obj)) { // if this object was already counted - don't count it again return 0; } else { // remember to not count this object's size again encountered.add(obj); } java.lang.reflect.Field fields[] = obj.getClass().getFields(); long size = Instrumentation.getObjectSize(obj); // itereate through all fields for (Field field : fields) { Class fieldType = field.getType(); // only if the field isn't a primitive if (fieldType != Boolean.class &amp;&amp; fieldType != Integer.class &amp;&amp; fieldType != Long.class &amp;&amp; fieldType != Float.class &amp;&amp; fieldType != Character.class &amp;&amp; fieldType != Short.class &amp;&amp; fieldType != Double.class) { // get the field's value try { Object fieldValue = field.get(obj); size += getObjectSize(obj, encountered); } catch (IllegalAccessException e) {} } } return size; } </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
