[android-developers] Fake GC ?

2013-02-14 Thread Fábio Balancin
Hello,

I'm working on android project with XML layout and I have a little (but
despicable) problem.

When I set one activity with xml layout using a layoutInflater (i'm in
fragment) I close this activity and load it again, then Android heap not
release all objects of memory, and I have a little bytes more on each
reload. Doesn't GC working correctly ? How I fix that ?

My Android Device is a 2.3 version.

Thanks !!

In Android you never really close a screen.

The system will --- when it feels necessary --- destroy the activity:
this sets its master view to null and at that point the view will be
garbage collected (eventually).

This is a core concept in Android: your application doesn't close
the same way it does on a desktop.  There are always things that you
have to watch out for: in this case the salient detail is not to keep
`Views` in static objects.  (This will cause your app to leak views
when they *are* destroyed and recreated, say by a reconfiguration when
the user rotates the screen.)
