Question

My design requires that I kill the get_configuration activity (Activity1) once the second_activity is running. However, when I hit the BACK button from the second_activity (Activity2), I get the following error:

“E/ActivityThread(2156): Activity com.test.Test has leaked IntentReceiver that was originally registered here. Are you missing a call to unregisterReceiver()?”

I’m new to Android, all my research mentions unregistering intent receivers – but I’m not using an intent receiver, just the intent to pass the bundle to the second_activity.

How do I unregister my intent from a destroyed activity? Here is the code I am using:-

Activity1 class:

SetupActivity() {
   ...
     Intent intent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), Activity2.class);
     intent.putExtra("width", intWidth);
     intent.putExtra("height", intHeight);
     finish(); // kill this activity
     startActivity(intent); // start Activity2

}

Activity2 class:

OnCreate() {
 Bundle extras = getIntent().getExtras();
 if (extras != null) {
     width = extras.getInt("width");
     height = extras.getInt("height");
  }
}

You have a Java class. It is named com.test.Test. In there, you have called registerReceiver(), yet failed to call unregisterReceiver() before it was destroyed.
