Android programming

need help from any android fags.  I have a class that extends Activity that has a field which is an ArrayList. The arraylist gets populated by a different Activity.  My problem is that when ever the Activity with the arraylist field starts a new activity the GC reallocates all the fields.  Ive tried making the field static along with a few other things.  Any one know what the actual fuck?

Change your shit design.

>>1
do NOT use statics in android.
also, use intents to communicate data across activity boundaries.

>>3
Is there a reason to stay away from static? curious for knowledges sake.  The best rememdy i have is passing the point to the next activity using an intent and then passing it back.  Back that feels unacceptably inefficient to me

Then your architecture doesn't work
Do not fight Android. I did that a lot when i started and it was very painful
You probably have to re-design your application. Please read

Statics are a very hacky fix to your problem. They will just be a pain later on when you realize you could have handled it cleaner
