Unloading java classes?

Question

Java

Under what conditions is a custom class unloaded in java, and in particular android? There is a static class that is initialized when the application starts, what is the probability that at some point the jvm will not unload this class? Or what can be done to prevent it?

Answer 1

EMNIP, Dalvik does not unload classes. If you are catching java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError, then most likely the class was not loaded by the classloader at all. Here it is already necessary to smoke logs.
