Clearing array adaptor resources in android

I've got a GridView on an activity and I'm setting a custom font in the constructor for the ArrayAdaptor like this

typeface = Typeface.createFromAsset(getContext().getAssets(), "RobotoCondensed-Light.ttf");

This seems fine and shows just one occurance of it when issuing 

adb shell dumpsys meminfo com.example.app

If I then exit the activity and go into it again there's then two references to the font resource and so on for every time I enter it.

In what way should I be clearing up that. I can't think where that clear up process should go to release the resource.

Instead of calling Typeface.createFromAsset in every activity you might want to create it once in the main app and use it to set font any time you want:

textView.setTypeface(mainApp.getTypeface());
