End has leaked IntentReceiver         


        

Answer 1

You should unregister the receivers in onPause() and register them in onResume(). This way, when Android destroys and recreates the activity for the configuration change, or for any reason you will still have receivers set up.

Answer 2

Create a custom receiver like this

class deliverReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {     
@Override
 public void onReceive(Context context, Intent arg1) {
             switch (getResultCode())
             {
                 case Activity.RESULT_OK:
                     Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "SMS delivered", 
                             Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                     break;
                 case Activity.RESULT_CANCELED:
                     Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "SMS not delivered", 
                             Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                     break;                        
             }

         }
}

and a sent reciever like this..

class sentReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {     
@Override
 public void onReceive(Context context, Intent arg1) {
             switch (getResultCode())
             {
                 case Activity.RESULT_OK:
                     Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "SMS sent", 
                             Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                     break;
                 case SmsManager.RESULT_ERROR_GENERIC_FAILURE:
                     Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "Generic failure", 
                             Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                     break;
                 case SmsManager.RESULT_ERROR_NO_SERVICE:
                     Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "No service", 
                             Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                     break;
                 case SmsManager.RESULT_ERROR_NULL_PDU:
                     Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "Null PDU", 
                             Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                     break;
                 case SmsManager.RESULT_ERROR_RADIO_OFF:
                     Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "Radio off", 
                             Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                     break;
             }


         }

now in sendSMS method after this

 PendingIntent deliveredPI = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 0,
         new Intent(DELIVERED), 0);

put

registerReceiver(sentReceiver,SENT);
registerReceiver(deliverReceiver,DELIVERED);

Now override onpause and unregister for the receivers like this..

unregisterReceiver(sentReceiver);
unregisterReceiver(deliverReceiver);

Answer 3

You have registered two broadcast receivers in your activity. In onDestroy of your activity, unregister both the receivers. Refer http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/ContextWrapper.html#unregisterReceiver(android.content.BroadcastReceiver).
