Garbage Collection in android (Done manually)

Question

I have a strange doubts. I know garbage collector has its own limitation. and if allocation is bad then it can cause a problem for application to respond in unusual way.

So my question is that is it good programming habit to call forcefully garbage collector (System.gc()) at the end of each activity?

Update

Every one is saying that calling system.gc() not beneficial at all.Then i am wondering why its present here.DVM will decide when to run garbage collector.Then what is need of that method?

Update 2

Thanks community to help me out. But honestly i got knowledge about Garbage collection real Beauvoir from this link Java Performance Optimization

Answer 1
