Yup. We've been running in that case too many times. Invest in a good tool like Yourkit, use HPROF Heap dumps to find the objects with the sticky connects to JVM root and prepare to spend nights on trying again and again..
I recommend writing automated Unit-Tests for that as well. So that you can call certain activities 100 times and see whether they retain in memory or not. Very helpful for us. Also check basics like background pictures can be encoded as JPG instead of PNG to save some memory...
