Memory leak when using setText

I have noticed that I have a memory leak in my program.

I have traced the problem to the line.

Clock.setText("" + h + ":" + df.format(m) + ":" + df.format(s));

I have googled this and it seems to be a common problem but I have not found an answer.

Does anyone know a fix?

Here is the entire code:

Your program looks OK to me. Note how periodic GC returns to baseline. In contrast, this example leaks host resources. At most, you might consider using StringBuilder or MessageFormat in your setText() invocation.

I see no memory leak here.
