Question

I am getting this error : has leaked window com.android.internal.policy.impl.PhoneWindow$DecorView@46029dd0 that was originally added here I have net connection in emulator, check it out browser by opening websites.

I am getting error at the line of processdialog.

@SuppressLint("NewApi")
private class TheTask extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, Void> {

    @Override
    protected void onPreExecute() {
        dialog = ProgressDialog.show(Register.this, "",
                "Registering... Please wait...", true);
    }

    @Override
    protected Void doInBackground(Void... params) {

        request = new SoapObject(NAMESPACE, METHOD_NAME);

        name = new PropertyInfo();
        name.setName("Name");
        name.setValue(Name);
        name.setType(String.class);
        request.addProperty(name);

        SoapSerializationEnvelope envp = new SoapSerializationEnvelope(
                SoapEnvelope.VER11);
        envp.dotNet = true;
        envp.setOutputSoapObject(request);
        HttpTransportSE androidHttpTransport = new HttpTransportSE(URL);
        try {
            androidHttpTransport.call(SOAP_ACTION, envp);
            SoapPrimitive response = (SoapPrimitive) envp.getResponse();
            Response = response.toString();

        } catch (Exception e) {
            textValidation.setText(e.toString());
        }

        return null;
    }

    @Override
    protected void onPostExecute(Void result) {

        if (dialog != null) {
            dialog.dismiss();
            dialog = null;
        }

probably App is crashing be because you are trying to update UI element from `doInBackground` so use `onPostExecute` for updating ui elements instead of doInBackground — ρяσѕρєя K, May 27 '13 at 08:13

This error will happen if your activity has been destroyed but you dialog is still showing. So You have added these code in your activity's onDestroy()

@Override
public void onDestroy() {
    super.onDestroy();
    if (dialog != null) {
        dialog.dismiss();
        dialog = null;
    }
}

App was crashing i was trying to update UI element from doInBackground. – Jeeten Parmar May 27 '13 at 08:26
U cannot change UI from another background thread. Try changing from postExecute – vicky May 27 '13 at 08:33
rite, vivek. But then why it is working when I am not sending data to my computer local server. I have changed it to main server of my company and that time only, I got this error. – Jeeten Parmar May 27 '13 at 08:38

`super.onDestroy()` should be called first. – Johan S Mar 08 '14 at 00:07

Possibly Its Because of you are writing

textValidation.setText(e.toString());

inside the function,

doInBackground()

which is updating UI which is allowed by android in doInBackground() method. So somehow if you put this line in

postExecute()

then this problem will get resolved.
