This Handler class should be static or leaks might occur: IncomingHandler

Question

I\'m developing an Android 2.3.3 application with a service. I have this inside that service to communicate with Main activity:

public class UDPListenerServi         


        

Answer 1

I'm confused. The example I found avoids the static property entirely and uses the UI thread:

    public class example extends Activity {
        final int HANDLE_FIX_SCREEN = 1000;
        public Handler DBthreadHandler = new Handler(Looper.getMainLooper()){
            @Override
            public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
                int imsg;
                imsg = msg.what;
                if (imsg == HANDLE_FIX_SCREEN) {
                    doSomething();
                }
            }
        };
    }

The thing I like about this solution is there is no problem trying to mix class and method variables.
