[android-developers] Referencing views through instance fields and garbage collection

Correct me if I'm wrong - onStop state destroys view hierarchy of activity/fragment. Consequently, views that are referenced through the object fields will be retained because of hard references, for example if I have such a class:

public class ArticleFragment extends Fragment {

    WebView mWebView;

The webview won't be destroyed.

Am I right in my assumptions ? Should I use weakreferences or findViewById ?

Thanks.
