since you've asked so nicely on reddit

never hold static references on context classes on android, in fact static activity and application context is first example on memory leaks on android that you can find on the internet since 2009

better check out leakcanary while you're at it :)

the way you can resolve this is by using a weak reference, here is a library that does this quite well:
