This is a very weird problem. My app that runs just fine but somehow if I leave my phone for an hour or two while my app is running, I get the following error when I come back to it later:

I know for a fact that my yoga.database.Manager class was loaded at the time when the app was launched, but somehow the class must have been unloaded by the system as I left the phone.
Does Android unload classes automatically after certain periods? What can I do when my class gets unloaded?
The above error causes my app to crash, but I can easily re-launch it and it runs just fine.
The problem occurs mostly on my HTC Magic phone running Android 1.6.
