I have three activities:MyFirstActivity(click)->MyActivity(timer)- >MyNextActivity. And I noticed Timer cause MyActivity memory leak when digging through hprof in Eclipse. Below is my codes: public class MyActivity extends Activity {
private Timer timer = new Timer(); protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.main); TimerTask task = new TimerTask() { public void run() { Intent intent = new Intent(); intent.setClassName(getPackageName(), MyNextActivity.class.getName()); startActivity(intent); finish(); } }; timer.schedule(task, INTERVAL_TIME); } public void onDestroy() { super.onDestroy(); //memory leaking happens if there is not below. //timer = null; } } If I did set timer to null in onDestroy, MyActivity will always exist in heap. I did the flow four times and found four timers and four MyActivity instances in heap. Who can tell me why? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
