title: Objects just disapper after a few hours (Android)
body: <p>I have a list of custom objects ... these objects simple monitor a few of my websites for any new data that users may have added. I keep these objects in a static List&lt;> that is a member of a final class .... I create a service to go through the list at a given interval and update as needed. </p>
  
  <pre><code>final public class MonitorHandler {
      public static List&lt;MonitorSettings&gt; monitorsSettings = new ArrayList&lt;MonitorSettings&gt;();
  
      ect....
  
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>everything works perfectly fine for some time ... no exceptions come up at all. But if I let the app run for a period of time .. like say over night the list is empty ... like the objects have been garbage collected or removed by android. Why is this?? don't static objects persist even after the app is closed or sent to backround? </p>
