[android-developers] Will static variables in a non-activity class remain in memory?

I am storing an ArrayList in a static variable in an ordinary (non
activity) java class.
It works correctly when I load it from an activity, but will it be
guaranteed to remain
in memory even when my activity is not calling it often?

Here is the class:

package com.maps.spoken;

import java.util.ArrayList;

public class NoWordRepeats {

public static ArrayList<String> ar = new ArrayList<String>();

}
