"Activity ... has leaked ServiceConnection" exception on android
If I set my applicationId in gradle to something that does not start with com.clover I get
"Activity has leaked ServiceConnection" when I try to do orderConnector.connect();
com.clover.abcdef works, com.abcdef does not.
How to reproduce:
- Take
modifyorderbuttonexample fromclover/android-examplesrepository - Add this line to android module in app's build.gradle:
defaultConfig { applicationId "com.abc" } - Launch application, press the 'Add discount' button, you will see this exception in logs, and order will not be changed.
I can't attach full log as a file, so I will add short version here:
11-18 15:24:13.156 29977-29977/com.abc E/ActivityThread: Activity com.clover.example.modifyorder.app.AddDiscountActivity has leaked ServiceConnection com.clover.sdk.v3.order.OrderConnector@52801948 that was originally bound here
11-18 15:24:13.156 29977-29977/com.abc E/ActivityThread: android.app.ServiceConnectionLeaked: Activity com.clover.example.modifyorder.app.AddDiscountActivity has leaked ServiceConnection com.clover.sdk.v3.order.OrderConnector@52801948 that was originally bound here
...
com.clover.sdk.v1.ServiceConnector.connect(ServiceConnector.java:119)
11-18 15:24:13.156 29977-29977/com.abc E/ActivityThread: at com.clover.example.modifyorder.app.AddDiscountActivity$2.doInBackground(AddDiscountActivity.java:50)
In my case, activity was trying to be finished when there was an active order connection.
So you may check if you have finish(); call somewhere. If you do, I'de suggest you to disconnect orders connector before you call finish() in your activity.
I believe the leaked connection is a side effect of a security exception being thrown before the connection is closed. The example code would not leak if the connection was closed in a finallyclause which is a safer way to code this. Do you see anything else in the logs? 3rd party apps must register what permissions they require so the merchant can see it and approve it upon installation, please follow the steps in https://docs.clover.com/build/android... to setup permissions for your app. Apps that start with com.clover do not require this and will not have security a security exception, however only Clover is allowed to publish apps that start with com.clover.
