We're trying to track down a memory leak happening on the GoogleMap in our Android app, which ends in an OOM after about 40-50 device rotations. The map gets set around 3500 markers.
The App has a minSDK of 9 and therefore using the SupportMapFragment from the V4 Support Library.
We've tried multiple things including:
- Caching the LatLng's
- Caching CameraUpdates
- Removing markers from map
- Removing listeners from map
- Removing all listeners, markers etc so that we just have a plain map
- Updating Google Play Services library
- Updating Support library
Analyzing the memory dump in MAT shows that we accumulate lots of instances of
com.google.android.gms.location.internal.LocationClientHelper$ListenerTransport
which we have no clue where they are coming from.
Anyone has an idea on what could be the cause of this memory leak?
The following code has already all markes and listeners removed and still leaks. First the base class:
public abstract class BaseMapFragment extends Fragment {
public static final int MENU_ITEM_ID_SEARCH= 102;
public static final int MENU_ITEM_ID_SHOW_LIST= 100;
public static final int ZOOM_LEVEL_DEFAULT= 14;
private static final String SAVED_INSTANCE_LATITUDE= "savedLatitude";
private static final String SAVED_INSTANCE_LONGITUDE= "savedLongitutde";
private static final String SAVED_INSTANCE_ZOOM= "savedZoom";

outState.putDouble(SAVED_INSTANCE_LATITUDE, mMap.getCameraPosition().target.latitude);
outState.putDouble(SAVED_INSTANCE_LONGITUDE, mMap.getCameraPosition().target.longitude);
outState.putFloat(SAVED_INSTANCE_ZOOM, mMap.getCameraPosition().zoom);
}
}
@Override

}
if (mView != null) {
ViewGroup parent= (ViewGroup) mView.getParent();
if (parent != null)
parent.removeView(mView);
}
try {
mView= inflater.inflate(R.layout.map_layout, container, false);
} catch (InflateException e) {
/* map is already there, just return view as it is */
}
return mView;
}
protected GoogleMap initializeMap() {
if (mMap != null) {
if (mSavedLatitude != Constants.EXTRA_VALUE_NONE && mSavedLatitude != 0.0) {
mResumeCameraUpdate= Context.getCamUpdate(mSavedZoom, mSavedLatitude, mSavedLongitude);
} else {
mResumeCameraUpdate= Context.getCamUpdate(mMap.getCameraPosition().zoom, mMap.getCameraPosition().target.latitude, mMap.getCameraPosition().target.longitude);
}
}
SupportMapFragment mapFragment= (SupportMapFragment) getActivity().getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map);

}
// check if map is created successfully or not
if (mMap == null) {

} else {
mMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true);
mMap.setOnMyLocationButtonClickListener(new OnMyLocationButtonClickListener() {
@Override

mMap.animateCamera(newLatLngZoom);
} else {
Toast.makeText(getActivity().getApplicationContext(), R.string.map_location_services_disabled, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
return true;
}
});
}
return mMap;
