For Leak Canary, you should work with Android Studio. In Android Studio, In your build.gradle, add this

dependencies { 
 debugCompile 'com.squareup.leakcanary:leakcanary-android:1.3.1'
 releaseCompile 'com.squareup.leakcanary:leakcanary-android-no-op:1.3.1'
}

And in your Application class, add this line LeakCanary.install(this); in onCreate() method like this

public class ExampleApplication extends Application {

  @Override public void onCreate() {
    super.onCreate();
    LeakCanary.install(this);
  }
}
