The best thing is to stick with onDestroy, because you don't know when the phone will actually garbage collect your Activity object.
Of course, traditionally, you would override finalize() in your object. I haven't played with this on Android yet. However, you should be careful to note the API documentation on that method: "Note that the VM does guarantee that finalize() is called at most once for any object, but it doesn't guarantee when (if at all) finalize () will be called. For example, object B's finalize() can delay the execution of object A's finalize() method and therefore it can delay the reclamation of A's memory. To be safe, use a ReferenceQueue, because it provides more control over the way the VM deals with references during garbage collection. " So, check out ReferenceQueue. Again, I haven't played around with it, but it might give you what you want.
