Thanks for the interest Matt. Here are some references I found very interesting regarding memory leaks:
How to import a heap dump from Android into Eclipse's Memory Analyser Tool (MAT) http://kohlerm.blogspot.com/2009/04/analyzing-memory-usage-off-your-android.html Good article on how to fix memory leaks in general: http://java.dzone.com/news/how-fix-memory-leaks-java Another one (The whole kohlerm blog is pretty interesting): http://kohlerm.blogspot.com/2009/02/memory-leaks-are-easy-to-find.html Romain's blog entry on memory leaks in Android: http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2009/01/avoiding-memory-leaks.html I hope that maybe someone else has an idea about what's going on with my particular problem.
