Leaked window error for android with progress dialog… here is a solution to the problem.
Leaked window error for android with progress dialog
I’m having trouble displaying a progress dialog
with AsyncTask
:
Activity has leaked window com.android.internal.policy.PhoneWindow$DecorView{8cee959 V.E...... R...... D 0,0-1026,252} that was originally added here
Here is my asynchronous task:
public class MyClientTask extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, Void> {
private ProgressDialog progressDialog = null;
private Context mContext;
MyClientTask(Context mContext) {
this.mContext = mContext;
}
@Override
protected void onPreExecute() {
super.onPreExecute();
progressDialog = new ProgressDialog(mContext);
progressDialog.setMessage("Working ...");
progressDialog.setIndeterminate(false);
progressDialog.setCancelable(false);
progressDialog.show();
}
@Override
protected Void doInBackground(Void... arg0) {
try {
wait(5000);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return null;
}
@Override
protected void onPostExecute(Void result) {
super.onPostExecute(result);
if (progressDialog != null) {
progressDialog.dismiss();
progressDialog = null;
}
}
}
This is my Activity :
public class ConnectionActivity extends Activity {
final private Context mContext = this;
private Button buttonConnect;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R .layout.activity_socketconnection);
buttonConnect = (Button) findViewById(R.id.buttonConnect);
buttonConnect.setOnClickListener(getConnectOncOnClickListener());
}
private OnClickListener getConnectOncOnClickListener() {
return new OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
MyClientTask myClientTask = new MyClientTask(mContext);
try {
myClientTask.execute();
myClientTask.get();
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (ExecutionException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
};
}
}
I searched for a solution but still it doesn’t work
Solution
Some tips:
Keep a reference to
ProgressDialog
in your activity and add public methods to show/hide it;Use
WeakReference <Context>
in yourAsyncTask
to let the garbage collector do its job;Remove
myClientTask.get()
blocking the UI thread.
