InputMethodManager.mLastSrvView memory leak in Android6.0 with huawei mobile phone

[ljian]

com.xxx.activity.XXXActivity has leaked:

• GC ROOT static android.view.inputmethod.InputMethodManager.sInstance
• references android.view.inputmethod.InputMethodManager.mLastSrvView
• references com.xx.TextView.mContext
• leaks com.xxx.activity.XXXActivity instance

i just fond this with mCurRootView excludedRefs
INPUT_METHOD_MANAGER__ROOT_VIEW = new AndroidExcludedRefs("INPUT_METHOD_MANAGER__ROOT_VIEW", 6, VERSION.SDK_INT >= 15 && VERSION.SDK_INT <= 23, null) {
void add(Builder excluded) {
excluded.instanceField("android.view.inputmethod.InputMethodManager", "mCurRootView").reason("The singleton InputMethodManager is holding a reference to mCurRootView long after the activity has been destroyed. Observed on ICS MR1: #1 (comment) Hack: https://gist.github.com/pyricau/4df64341cc978a7de414");
}
};

so do you consider to add this into excludedrefs?

Leaks for certain manufacturers are also added to AndroidExcludedRefs. You can file a pull request with your desired addition.

I have same question ， how to deal with ? thanks

[pyricau]

Thank you for your report, it looks like this might be a leak in the Android SDK.

Please read the following entry in our FAQ: Can a leak be caused by the Android SDK?.

We don't have enough time to do the investigative work on this type of issue, so I will close this issue for now. We'll happily take contributions to AndroidExcludedRefs.java, if the leak is demonstrated and the fix provided to AOSP.

Too bad this was closed, I'm seeing it too.

For info, for people wanting to hide this temporarily to focus on leaks in their own code, the following seems to ignore it. In my case, I saw it from a SearchView.SearchAutoComplete field, so I guess if you see it from a TextView you'd need to add a rule for that.

            ExcludedRefs excludedRefs = AndroidExcludedRefs.createAppDefaults()
                    .instanceField("android.view.inputmethod.InputMethodManager", "sInstance")
                    .instanceField("android.view.inputmethod.InputMethodManager", "mLastSrvView")
                    .instanceField("com.android.internal.policy.PhoneWindow$DecorView", "mContext")
                    .instanceField("android.support.v7.widget.SearchView$SearchAutoComplete", "mContext")
                    .build();

            LeakCanary.refWatcher(this)
                    .listenerServiceClass(DisplayLeakService.class)
                    .excludedRefs(excludedRefs)
                    .buildAndInstall();

@ckwcc Just init in your CustomApplication.java
