How to solve Android Window Leak ?


The WindowLeaked exception in the log usually happens when you have some sort of async task that is finishing after the activity that began it is destroyed.
Solution for the above issue, we can dismiss the progress dialog before finish the activity.
Issue :
Activity com.sample.ViewLeakIssueActivity has leaked window com.android.internal.policy.impl.TvWindow$DecorView@6bc30788 that was originally added here
E/WindowManager( 1687): at android.view.ViewRoot.(ViewRoot.java:230)
E/WindowManager( 1687): at android.view.WindowManagerImpl.addView(WindowManagerImpl.java:148)
-----

Sample Leak Issue
public class ViewLeakIssueActivity extends Activity {
volatile ProgressDialog pd;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
pd = ProgressDialog.show(ViewLeakIssueActivity.this, "", "test...", true);

new Thread() {
public void run() {
try {
sleep(5000);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
System.out.println("@@@@@@@@@@@"+ViewLeakIssueActivity.this+pd.isShowing());

pd.dismiss();
}
}.start();

finish();

}

}

Solution for the above issue, we can dismiss the progress dialog before finish the activity.

@Override
public void finish() {
if(pd.isShowing()){
pd.dismiss();
}
super.finish();
}
