Activity has leaked window that was originally added

Question

What is this error, and why does it happen?

05-17 18:24:57.069: ERROR/WindowManager(18850): Activity com.mypkg.myP has leaked window com.android.internal.pol         


        

Answer 1

This is not the answer to the question but it's relevant to the topic.

If the activity has defined an attribute in the Manifest

 android:noHistory="true"

then after executing onPause(), the context of activity is lost. So all the view's using this context might give this error.
