You can find a lot of useful tips here (Designing for Performance.) regarding memory, performance in Android. And for sure, you don't need to set variables to null in your code

Why would you need to set it to null?

If you're worried about garbage collection, the reference ceases to exist as soon as the local variable is reassigned or goes out of scope. (It's not quite that simple, but that's the general idea.)
