"I assume you mean any of my own bitmap caches..." Yep, if you have any.
I don't have an issue when my app finishes. Memory seems to get released quite OK. So far, repeatedly re-starting my app does not seem to leak any (bitmap) memory. By any chance, do you have Drawables cached (i.e. referenced through a static variable, or in a map/collection that is referenced through a static variable)? Drawables (BitmapDrawables in your case) hold on to a reference of the activity in which they're used. I've been bitten by leaking memory before. I try to avoid mutable static variables in Android as the plague. And, if i really need one, i make absolutely sure the static variable is either cleaned up properly (set to null) and/or that it holds no (indirect) references to activities.
