I have a service that is opened by an Activity for the purposes of
managing a SQLite database the service is passed the application
context when binding...
serviceIntent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(),
DatabaseService.class);
bindService(serviceIntent, mConnection, Context.BIND_AUTO_CREATE);
The service is unbound in onPause
When trying to track down memory leaks with the Binders, I opened and
closed the activity a few times and then dumped the heap into MAT in
Eclipse.
Amongst all the other rubbish I get details as below.
Is this telling me that I actually have 4 different Application
Context instances at four different addresses??? Or am I just getting
different pointers to the one Application Context -they all come from
the same call for getApplicationContext(). I didn't think an app would
have more than one Application Context,IF this is what this means. Is
this something I should not be worried about?
This is from a single run of my app on fresh run of the emulator.
