Using System.gc() to Force the Garbage Collector

Using System.gc() to Force the Garbage Collector

The garbage collector works automatically, whether you request it to or not. However, it is possible to make a garbage collector request, by invoking the System.gc() method. When garbage collector starts its work, you may have a short pause in the application’s execution. This is the reason why you should only invoke the System.gc() method at the right time, such as before performing a huge task or when the application is idle, waiting for user’s input.
