**Describe the bug**  
After the fragment is destroyed the application does not properly destroy the instances causing a leak (can cause an `OutOfMemoryError`).

**Which version?**  
v5.2.42043.1112

**To Reproduce**  
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Copy and paste ZoomVideocall.java inside your application
2. Inside a fragment through any ui interface (like a button) start the class using the following functions:

```auto
	private ZoomVideocall mVideocall;

    private void startVideocall() {
        if(mVideocall == null) {
            mVideocall = new ZoomVideocall(requireContext());
        }

        mVideocall.start();
    }

```

1. Add `onDestroyView()`

```auto
	@Override
    public void onDestroyView() {
        super.onDestroyView();
        mVideocall.destroy();
        ...
    }

```

1. Now check with LeakCanary the leak produced.

**Expected behavior**  
Should not leak.

**Additional context**

- LeakCanary version: 2.5

Hi @alphadevgroup, thanks for using our SDK.

Thank you for catching this memory leak. I was able to reproduce this quite easily, and confirmed that it does not require copying over your `ZoomVideocall` class. We will investigate this and let you know as soon as we have an update.

Thanks!
