ADFA-3418

Fixes the editor-activity leaks LeakCanary found while opening real projects, switching between them, and recreating the editor activity (dark mode). Three fixes are revived from the abandoned #1770. The rest are new.

Leaks

Leak Root Before Fix
EditorActivityKt (ADFA-2996) native global -> NsdManager$NsdCallbackImpl -> NsdManager.mContext every project close and recreate; 7.7 MB across 12 instances in one dump AdbMdns takes NsdManager from applicationContext.createAttributionContext(null) (#1770)
CodeEditorViews + activity (ADFA-5388, noted in ADFA-6264) JDWPListenerThread -> IDEDebugClientImpl -> BreakpointHandler.listeners 1.3 MB after one dark-mode toggle with files open editors released on recreate (below); removal uses the client captured at construction, not Lookup
IDEEditor + activity (noted in ADFA-6264) EventBus.typesBySubscriber -> IDEEditor 426 KB per recreate; only visible once the row above was fixed editors released on recreate (below)
IDEEditor + activity coroutine worker -> EditorEventDispatcher -> IDEEditor 425 KB per recreate; only visible once the row above was fixed preDestroy releases editors on a non-finishing destroy
EditorActivityKt (ADFA-5528) IDEApplication -> ComponentCallbacksController -> FlashbarContainerView$registerConfigurationCallback$1 recreate or close while a flashbar is showing callback registered on attach, unregistered on detach
EditorActivityKt static ActionsRegistry -> ShowTooltipAction.context not exercised here drop the stored Context (#1770)
DebuggerViewModel (ADFA-5511) default EventBus -> IDEDebugClientImpl not exercised here debugClient.unregister() in onCleared (#1770)

The three recreate rows share one cause. A recreate (dark mode, locale, display size) destroys EditorHandlerActivity without closing its editors. CodeEditorView.release() is close() without notifyClose(), whose DocumentCloseEvent is dispatched asynchronously and could reach the language server after the new activity reopens the same file. preDestroy skips the release while areFilesSaving is set, because release() nulls the editor's file and an in-flight save would then drop its write. A recreate that lands mid-save therefore still leaks that instance once.

Why #1770 used createAttributionContext rather than plain applicationContext: NsdManager is cached per ContextImpl. Sharing the application context would merge the pairing and connect managers into one NSD client, and below Android 13 two concurrent resolveService calls on one manager fail with FAILURE_ALREADY_ACTIVE.

Commits 1-5 are authored by David Schachter. None of their files has changed on stage since #1770's merge-base, so they are #1770's final file contents.

Not fixed here

  • ADFA-6392. On Android 11-12, each AdbMdns now gets its own NsdManager, which starts a HandlerThread that is never stopped, so every pairing retry strands one. This is a cost of the per-attribution-context fix above, filed rather than fixed here because it needs an Android 11/12 device to verify.
  • Build-service binding (ADFA-6264). This is the one leak the scenario still reports: LoadedApk.mServices -> destroyed EditorActivityKt, 4.7 MB across two activities. A Shark probe of the heap dump shows both keys hold GradleBuildServiceConnnection. The instance destroyed by a recreate never unbinds, and its successor reuses the service without binding. The successor's unbind then throws on finish, and catch (_: Throwable) hides it. The fix belongs with ADFA-6264's rework of the same startServices() reuse branch. The evidence is on that ticket.
  • ADFA-5376: JavaDebugAdapter._listenerState holds IDEDebugClientImpl -> DebuggerViewModel (1.4 KB, seen once).
  • The other ADFA-3418 links (5375, 5377-5383, 5386, 5387/5420, 5419): not leaks LeakCanary can verify here, or they need a wireless-debugging pairing device.

Verification

Emulator API 36 (arm64), LeakCanary 2.14, Fossify Calculator, Fossify Notes and android/architecture-samples. One scripted scenario, run on each build:

  1. Open a project with three files.
  2. Toggle dark mode twice.
  3. Switch project.
  4. Switch to a project whose init fails, which leaves an indefinite flashbar.
  5. Toggle dark mode under that flashbar.
  6. Background the app.
Build Leak signatures reported
stage 2d4ab239a NsdManager, BreakpointHandler, flashbar callback, DebuggerViewModel (ADFA-5376)
this branch, after commit 7 EventBus->IDEEditor, flashbar callback, build-service binding

this branch, after commit 10 build-service binding only (ADFA-6264); 23 + 19 retained
this branch, head build-service binding only (ADFA-6264); 4 retained, 786 KB, one dump
  • EditorTextActionContextTest passes. With the ShowTooltipAction fix reverted, it fails as [ShowTooltipAction (from ShowTooltipAction).context].
  • :editor:testV8DebugUnitTest: 23/23 pass.
  • :app:testV8DebugUnitTest and :editor:testV8DebugUnitTest pass at head. Earlier runs on this branch failed 2 then 3 of 1378. OutlineViewModelTest and TemplateManagerViewModelTest fail with UncaughtExceptionsBeforeTest (an earlier test's IO coroutine resumes on Dispatchers.Main after it was reset). stage 2d4ab239a fails the same two in 1 of 3 full runs, and both pass alone on this branch. FeatureFlagsTest > initialize reads a present flag file failed once on this branch (isExperimentsEnabled() was false while app-loader logs ran in the background). It passed in all 3 stage runs, and I have not shown it is pre-existing.
  • Not exercised: the debugger, the editor text-action popup, floating editor tabs across a recreate, and devices below Android 13.
  • Both ANRs seen during the runs were LeakCanary heap dumps freezing the main thread for about 12s while the app was in the foreground; the ANR trace shows the main thread mid-frame, not blocked. One happened on stage too.
  • No layout, string or view-structure changes, so no 2x font-scale check is needed.

NsdManager is cached per Context and the framework keeps it alive from a native global ref, so one taken from the editor activity retained that activity for the life of the process. Derive it from a fresh attribution context off the application context, which also keeps each AdbMdns a separate NsdService client. Log resolve failures instead of dropping them.

Revived from the abandoned #1770.

EDITOR_TEXT_ACTIONS lives in the static ActionsRegistry; the action only needs the context in init. Adds a test that no EDITOR_TEXT_ACTIONS class declares a Context field.

…wModel clears

IDEDebugClientImpl registers itself with the default EventBus, which then held it and the view model for the life of the process.

Revived from the abandoned #1770.

Co-authored-by: Hal Eisen <hal@haleisen.com>
The listener was added in init and removed only in close(), but a recreate (dark mode, locale, display size) destroys the editor activity without closing its editors, so the process-wide BreakpointHandler kept every open CodeEditorView and the activity (1.3 MB in a LeakCanary dump after one dark-mode toggle). Register on attach and unregister on detach, as the class already does for EventBus; hidden tabs stay attached in the ViewFlipper so they still get events.

Removal now goes through the client captured at construction, not IDEDebugClientImpl.getInstance(), so it no longer silently no-ops once Lookup is cleared (ADFA-5388).
The dismiss paths unregister from a post{} that never runs once the view is detached, so a flashbar still showing when its activity was destroyed left a ComponentCallbacks on the Application holding that activity. Reproduced by a dark-mode recreate under the indefinite 'Project initialization failed' bar (ADFA-5528).

📝 Summary
  • Reduce editor-activity leaks by removing the retained Context from ShowTooltipAction and unregistering DebuggerViewModel’s debug client when the view model clears.
  • Register and unregister FlashbarContainerView’s configuration callback when the view attaches to and detaches from a window.
  • Obtain AdbMdns’s NsdManager from an application-derived attribution context. Log service-resolution failures at warning level.
  • Capture the debug client in CodeEditorView for breakpoint operations. Add release() to remove the breakpoint listener and release editor resources without notifying the language server that the document closed. During non-finishing activity destruction, release editors only when no file save is in flight.
  • Add EditorTextActionContextTest to check listed editor text actions for fields typed as Context or its subtypes, including inherited fields.
  • Risk: A recreation during an in-flight save skips editor release and may leave that editor instance retained. The new test checks only its hand-maintained action list and does not cover indirect context references.
  • Known remaining leak: The reported LeakCanary scenario still finds a build-service binding leak. The author assigns it to separate follow-up work.
  • Validation limits: The debugger, editor text-action popup, floating editor tabs across recreation, and devices below Android 13 were not exercised. The reported test runs include earlier runs with 2 and 3 failures; the supplied information does not establish that all failures were pre-existing.

Walkthrough

The changes update context retention in an editor action, editor and debugger cleanup, flashbar callback lifecycle, and mDNS manager creation and failure logging. Tests inspect listed editor text actions for declared and inherited Context fields.

Changes

Editor Action Context

Layer / File(s) Summary
Editor action context field check
app/src/main/java/com/itsaky/androidide/actions/file/ShowTooltipAction.kt, app/src/test/java/com/itsaky/androidide/actions/EditorTextActionContextTest.kt
ShowTooltipAction no longer retains its constructor Context. Tests inspect listed editor text actions for declared and inherited Context fields.

Editor Release Lifecycle

Layer / File(s) Summary
Editor release path
app/src/main/java/com/itsaky/androidide/ui/CodeEditorView.kt, app/src/main/java/com/itsaky/androidide/activities/editor/EditorHandlerActivity.kt
CodeEditorView retains its debug client and adds release() for cleanup without notifying the language server that the document closed. EditorHandlerActivity releases child editor views when it is not finishing and no files are being saved.

Debugger Client Cleanup

Layer / File(s) Summary
Debugger client cleanup
app/src/main/java/com/itsaky/androidide/viewmodel/DebuggerViewModel.kt
DebuggerViewModel unregisters its debug client in onCleared(). Other listed changes reformat existing state and selection logic without changing its behavior.

Flashbar Callback Lifecycle

Layer / File(s) Summary
Flashbar callback lifecycle
subprojects/flashbar/src/main/java/com/itsaky/androidide/flashbar/FlashbarContainerView.kt
FlashbarContainerView registers the configuration callback on attachment when its context is an Activity, and unregisters it on detachment. Registration is removed from show().

mDNS Discovery Updates

Layer / File(s) Summary
mDNS context and resolve failures
subprojects/shizuku-manager/src/main/java/moe/shizuku/manager/adb/AdbMdns.kt
AdbMdns obtains NsdManager through an attribution context based on the application context. Resolve failures now log the service name and error code.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Restore the breakpoint highlight on reattachment.

If a debugger highlight changes while this view is detached, the view misses the listener event. Reattaching adds the listener but does not apply the handler’s current highlighted location. A reused editor can show a stale highlight until another event arrives. Refresh the highlight from the handler when the view attaches.

IDEEditor registered with the default EventBus in initEditor() and unregistered only in release(), which a recreate (dark mode, locale) never reaches, so EventBus kept each open editor and the destroyed activity (426 KB in a LeakCanary dump after the breakpoint-listener path was fixed). Register on attach and unregister on detach, as CodeEditorView does.

Chosen over closing editors on recreate: close() posts DocumentCloseEvent through an async dispatcher, which could reach the language server after the recreated activity reopens the same file.
…ow()

Unregistering on detach alone did not clear the leak: a LeakCanary dump after backgrounding still showed the callback holding a destroyed EditorActivityKt. Register in onAttachedToWindow so the callback exists only while the bar is attached, paired with the detach unregister.
A recreate (dark mode, locale) destroys EditorHandlerActivity without closing its editors, so each editor's EditorEventDispatcher job kept the IDEEditor and the destroyed activity on a coroutine worker (425 KB in a LeakCanary dump), alongside the EventBus and breakpoint-listener paths fixed earlier. preDestroy now calls CodeEditorView.release() on a non-finishing destroy.

release() is close() without notifyClose() - a DocumentCloseEvent could reach the language server after the new activity reopens the file - and without shutting readWriteContext, which an in-flight save may still be writing through.

193-193: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

Clear hostActivity when the container is dismissed or detached.

hostActivity is set only when parent == null. Nothing clears it afterward. The container holds a strong reference to the Activity after dismissal. If the container is added to a window again, onAttachedToWindow() registers the callback for that old Activity. The container is normally discarded after dismissal, so the risk is low. Setting hostActivity = null in unregisterConfigurationCallback() or in the dismiss paths removes the retained reference.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Close the read/write dispatcher after release-time writes finish.

When activity recreation calls release(), this path leaves readWriteContext open. Each editor creates a dedicated dispatcher thread, and close() is the only path that closes it. Repeated recreation can therefore retain one thread per released editor. Keep the dispatcher available for an active save, then close it when the last write finishes; close it immediately when no write is active. The coroutine API requires explicit closure to reclaim the thread. (kotlinlang.org)

@hal-eisen-adfa hal-eisen-adfa changed the title ADFA-3418: Fix five memory leaks found with LeakCanary ADFA-3418: Fix editor-activity leaks found with LeakCanary Oct 7, 2026
Releasing editors on recreate (b21f341) already unregisters IDEEditor from EventBus, so registering per attach is redundant, and it opened a gap in which a detached-and-reattached editor (the panel moving into a floating window) misses events. Back to registering once in initEditor().

This reverts commit bf8aded.
Releasing editors on recreate (b21f341) already removes the listener, so tying it to attach/detach is redundant, and it left a gap: an editor detached and reattached alive (the panel moving into a floating window) missed breakpoint and highlight events in between (CodeRabbit). Removal still goes through the client captured at construction (ADFA-5388).
release() nulls the editor's file, so a recreate landing after a save had raised areFilesSaving but before saveEditorInternal read frag.file made that save return NOT_OPEN and drop the buffer (CodeRabbit). preDestroy now releases only when no save is in flight; a save that has not yet raised the flag finds no files after removeAllFiles(), as before this change. A recreate mid-save therefore still leaks that instance once.

With no save possible, release() can also shut readWriteContext, so a recreate no longer strands one dispatcher thread per editor (CodeRabbit).

Re CodeRabbit nitpick "Clear hostActivity when the container is dismissed or detached" (FlashbarContainerView.kt:193): not applying. The container is constructed with the same activity (FlashbarContainerView(builder.activity), Flashbar.kt:78), so hostActivity retains nothing the view's own mContext does not. Clearing it on detach would also stop onAttachedToWindow() from re-registering the callback when a still-parented bar reattaches, the case raised in the other flashbar thread. show() sets it before every addView, so a later show cannot reuse a stale one.

Tie editor release to the complete save lifecycle.

preDestroy() checks only areFilesSaving. A queued save can therefore lose its buffer before beginFileSave() raises that flag. If recreation instead skips release during an active save, save completion and the navigation handoff do not release the old editor. Track pending saves before their first dispatch, transfer each pending save to the active count without a gap, and release retained old editor views when both counts drain. CodeEditorView.release() already closes the view’s dispatcher, so this lifecycle cleanup can address both consequences.

The sibling of the ADFA-5388 change: resetBreakpointsInFile still went through IDEDebugClientImpl.requireInstance(), which throws once DebuggerViewModel.onCleared has removed the client from Lookup while editors are still alive (e.g. a close-project unsaved-files dialog). Use the client captured at construction.
Splitting release() out of close() moved notifyClose() ahead of the codeEditorScope cancel. A file load finishing in that window could post a document open after the close, re-adding an ActiveDocument for a closed file. Restore the original order.
The container is constructed with the same activity show() receives (Flashbar.kt:57, :78), so onAttachedToWindow can register against context directly.
