How to clear inactive memory in Android programmatically?

How to free inactive memory in Android? I have seen some applications that claim to free RAM programmatically. After having studied them I found they free inactive memory of the device. Are there any APIs to do this?

call the garbage collector to free memory , best place to call it is onDestroy()

eg :

@Override
protected void onDestroy() {

    System.gc();

    super.onDestroy();
}
