Is it normal and “ok” for a static instance of a class to be GC’ed so much? I built a subset of graphs and once I execute my graphing option in my app, I see the GC and my static instance get wiped.
I’m not having issues, just looking for some learning feedback. This trace test was done on my Galaxy Nexus.

This is normal because your app (a content provider perhaps?) is only kept running by the OS as long as necessary.
Let android do its thing.
