I'm adding a ViewFlipper inflated from a layout resource into a ListView as a Footer. Here's my flipper layout (Details omitted for brevity):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <ViewFlipper ...> <Button /> <LinearLayout ... > <ProgressBar ... /> <TextView ... /> </LinearLayout> </ViewFlipper> I add it to my ListView using :
mListView.addFooterView(mLoadMoreFlipper); When my activity is destroyed I see the following message, followed by a call stack, in LogCat:
Activity com.gk.ItemListActivity has leaked IntentReceiver android.widget.ViewFlipper$1@44c84ab0 that was originally registered here. Are you missing a call to unregisterReceiver()? I did some digging around and found out the message is related to not unregistering receivers, except I haven't registered any. Oddly this message only appears if the footer ViewFlipper has been removed from the ListView before destruction (by using the back button). I detach the footer when I no longer need it by using:
mListView.removeFooterView(mLoadMoreFlipper); I have tried using a WeakReference to the ViewFlipper but that doesn't help. I also tried setting the mLoadMoreFlipper reference to null but that doesn't help either.
Has anyone encountered this problem before? This seems to be related to my activity holding a reference to the ViewFlipper after it's been detached from the ListView but I do not know how to explicitly destroy the ViewFlipper.
