Hi rukiman,

The best way to determine what is wrong in your scenario is  taking some
heap dumps and analysing them with MAT, for example.

Markus Kohler's blog have a good tutorial to do this:

This "Activity Leak" is common when some reference to Context remains on
memory after the Activity destruction. Look for some static reference to it
(its just a guess)

Regards,

Felipe Silveira
