Android SurfaceView consumes memory after closing

Question

Android surfaceView still consumes memory after finishing the activity and killing the thread. Memory usage increases every time I restart my game (closing and opening). Cant figure it out :( Surface Destroyed method:

@Override
    public void surfaceDestroyed(SurfaceHolder holder){

                holder.lockCanvas();
                thread.setRunning(false);
                thread.join();
                retry = false;
                thread=null;


        }

    }

Surface created:

@Override
    public void surfaceCreated(SurfaceHolder holder)
    {
        thread = new MainThread(getHolder(), this);
        thread.setRunning(true);
        if(thread.getState() == Thread.State.NEW)
        thread.start();

}

This method finishes the activity:

private  void restart()
    {
        thread = new MainThread(getHolder(), this);
        thread.setRunning(false);
        thread=null;
            ((Activity) getContext()).finish();
    }

Can you provide more information? – Jorg Sep 12 '15 at 23:12 — Jorg, Sep 12 '15 at 23:12
Any piece of code is really helpful to analyze :) – Quantum_VC Sep 13 '15 at 05:13 — Quantum_VC, Sep 13 '15 at 05:13

I solved the problem by setting lauchMode to singleTask. Thanks to this: Memory and Activities :: OutOfMemory
