android - Activity has leaked window at alertDialog show() method

Question

I am getting window leak error at runtime because of using an AlertDialog.

I have pointed out the error line in the code below:

FirstActivity.java:

 public class FirstActivity extends FragmentActivity  implements View.OnClickListener{

 @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
        setContentView(R.layout.fragment_tour_guide_web);
  .......
  .......

   webView.addJavascriptInterface(new WebAppInterface(this), "Android");

 }


    public class WebAppInterface {
        Context mContext;

        /**
         * Instantiate the interface and set the context
         */
        WebAppInterface(Context c) {
            mContext = c;
        }

        /**
         * Intent - Move to next screen
         */

        @JavascriptInterface
        public void moveToNextScreen() {
            AlertDialog.Builder alertDialogBuilder = new AlertDialog.Builder(
                    context);

            // set title
            alertDialogBuilder.setTitle("Your Title");

            // set dialog message
            alertDialogBuilder
                    .setMessage("Click yes!")
                    .setCancelable(false)
                    .setPositiveButton("Yes", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                        public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {

                            Intent i = new Intent(FirstActivity.this,SecondActivity.class);
                            startActivity(i);
                        }
                    })
                    .setNegativeButton("No", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                        public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
                            // if this button is clicked, just close
                            // the dialog box and do nothing
                            dialog.cancel();
                        }
                    });

            // create alert dialog
            AlertDialog alertDialog = alertDialogBuilder.create();

            // show it
            alertDialog.show();  --->leak window error

        }

    }

  }

I don't know how to solve this issue.

Answer 1

You get error because ProgressDialog is running while your Activity is destroyed. You should dismiss dialog before starting new Activity.

.setPositiveButton("Yes", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
  public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
      if (alertDialog != null && alertDialog.isShowing()) {
          alertDialog.dismiss();
      }
      Intent i = new Intent(FirstActivity.this, SecondActivity.class);
      startActivity(i);
  }
});

I hope it helps!
