Handlers and memory leaks in Android

Question

Please have a look at the code below:

public class MyGridFragment extends Fragment{

     Handler myhandler = new Handler() {
    @Override
    public void h

Per the ADT 20 Changes, it looks like you should make it static.

New Lint Checks:

Check to make sure that Fragment classes are instantiatable. If you accidentally make a fragment innerclass non-static, or forget to have a default constructor, you can hit runtime errors when the system attempts to reinstantiate your fragment after a configuration change.

Look for handler leaks: This check makes sure that a handler inner class does not hold an implicit reference to its outer class.
