That may be. In this test the memory usage by Dalvik reported by meminfo never decreased even though the JVM Runtime memory usage did fall when the Activity was destroyed.
The main point is that there is not a close correspondence between memory usage reported by Linux process stats and JVM free memory. So meminfo is not the best way to detect application memory leaks.
