Tnx. So after further investigation it seems this bug was introduced in API 11 and is somehow related to the ActionBar. The leak does not occur on versions prior to that, so using either android:theme="@android:style/ Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen" or requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE) will not leak the Activity prior to API 11.
If targeting HONEYCOMB and above, you can hide the ActionBar like this *after* setContentView @TargetApi(11) private void hideActionBar() { if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB) { ActionBar actionBar = getActionBar(); // This check might be unnecessary, but it helped me find that getActionBar() should be called after setContentView !! if (actionBar != null) { actionBar.hide(); } } else { requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE); } } The noticeable problem with this approach is that the ActionBar will appear for a fraction of a moment, plus you will not have access to the options menu in HONEYCOMB What I decided to do, in the absence of a better solution, is simply avoid all this: <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="8" android:targetSdkVersion="8" /> Personally, I always prefer framework stability and correctness on top of new api’s ...
