How to be "absolutely sure". :-) Just kidding.

This i have done:
* app started, before killed
* dump hprof and load with mat (leak suspects)
* rotate, rotate, rotate...
* dump hprof again load with mat (leak suspects)

i compared the mat reports with the suspects and i see no differences in the
"leak suspects report". Which sould differ in the occupied size when i am not
wrong?

Actually i am aware of this complicated and consequences so i use the
universal image loader which is configured to scale the images exact in the
bitmap which cost cpu time, but preserves memory.

I am new to the memory thing, and it doesn't happen a lot. It happens
mostly on a rare ressource device. But question again starting lots of
activities
where you can go back should not be the issue? If the activity itself
isn't leaking
anything it can be gc'ed? The backstack just fire the intent again?
