it is a memory leak sometimes it tends to crash your application. This error will happen if your activity has been destroyed. This error will occur when you're using dialog..! so handle your dialog finished.

@Override

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

} as my reference Android : Window Manager : android view window leaked

This error occurs because your are not dismissing the dialog that you have already created and you are directly closing your activity.

This error seems small but some times it leads to a crash.

So kindly dismiss your dialog before finishing activity , as suggested by @hemanth reddy
