Is it safe to view links to activity displaying it?

Question

I expanded the View and passed it an instance of my Activity so that the view can access some member variables and methods.

But now I think it could be a potential memory leak, because even after the Activity is destroyed, it still has a reference to the view in the member variable and vice versa. Therefore, the garbage collector can never clean them.

However, I saw in some examples and examples of the Google API APIs where they passed Activity in the view as a listener.
