Android-activities continue to use RAM memory even if they are left

For several months I am creating an application for Android and I have a problem I can not solve : my application unexpectedly crashes after a few minutes of use. Thanks to the " Memory Monitor " of Android Studio, I can see that my application is using more and more memory over time : when I change activity , memory usage increases but not decreases, which then causes the stoppage my application when any memory allocated to it is used (256 MB) .

Do you have a solution to ensure that the memory used ceases to steadily increase over time as if already vacated activities continued to use memory ?

Here is a screenshot of Memory Monitor , phases rising with red arrows correspond to the launch of various activities. The blue arrow indicates when the application leaves unexpectedly.Memory Monitor Android Studio

When starting your new Activity, set its Intent flags like so:

Intent intent = new Intent(...);
intent .setFlags(intent .getFlags() | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NO_HISTORY);
startActivity(i);

or add android:noHistory="true" to the setting of your activity in manifest. This way force an activity to be added to the history stack.

Also you can clean up your memory in onDestory take a look at this link :
