Does Android clean up Activity's member variables when the Activity become stopped

Viewed 1544

I have an Activity, where I initialize a class member variable in onCreate(). In some case, I need to startActivity() which means this Activity turn into stopped state. When I come back, I need to use the variable.

This works OK in most phones, but I also get some crash from my users because the member become null on their phones. This member just contains some String and a POJO.

Does Android clean up Activity's member variable to free up memory?
