Thanks Richard for the reply. Actually when I clear the RAM from task manager it clears all the memory of my application including some global variables shared between the activities. And when the activity restarts I am getting null pointer exceptions because this global variables are getting cleared. One way is to store the application state in bundle but is there any other way?
If my whole application is closed then its fine, no need to preserve the application state also.
