The best way to get substring in Android is using  as  user2503849 said  TextUtlis substring CharSequence  int  int  method  I can explain why  If you will take a look at the String substring int  int  method from android jar  newest API 22   you will see   public String substring int start        if  start    0            return this            if  start  gt   0  amp  amp  start  lt   count            return new String offset   start  count - start  value             throw indexAndLength start       Ok  than    How do you think the private constructor String int  int  char    looks like   String int offset  int charCount  char   chars        this value   chars      this offset   offset      this count   charCount      As we can see it keeps reference to the  old  value char   array  So  the GC can not free it   In the newest Java it was fixed   String int offset  int charCount  char   chars        this value   Arrays copyOfRange chars  offset  offset   charCount       this offset   offset      this count   charCount      Arrays copyOfRange      uses native array copying inside   That s it     Best regards
