    The “activity has leaked window that was originally added…” error occurs when you try show an alert after the activity is effectively finished. See Activity has leaked window that was originally added.

    You have two options AFAIK:

    1. Rethink the login of your alert: call dismiss() on the dialog before actually exiting your activity.
    2. Put the dialog in a different thread and run it on that thread (independent of the current activity).
