Answer 1

since you are using an activity/level design, just add a check if your activity is finishing in your onPause method, and null all your references to the current level, that way the GC will know that your level object should be released, and it will release it as soon as possible.

@Override
public void onPause(){
      super.onPause();
      if (isFinishing()){
         levelObject = null;
}

}
