ConnectivityManager leaking, not sure how to resolve

So, I have this method that let's me know if the user has an active internet connection. It works well. However, leak canary has identified a memory leak associated with the connectivityManager. I am presently not closing the connectivityManager anywhere in my code at any time that I know of.

I've tried to close the connectivityManager in onDestroy. Either that isn't an option or I don't know the code. Truth be told, I simply tried to get auto fill to tell me how to do it. No luck.

public static boolean isNetworkAvailable(Context context) {
    ConnectivityManager connectivityManager =(ConnectivityManager)  context.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
    NetworkInfo activeNetworkInfo =connectivityManager.getActiveNetworkInfo();
    return activeNetworkInfo !=null && activeNetworkInfo.isConnected();
}
Solution

  • Use this to prevent leak,

    ConnectivityManager connectivityManager = (ConnectivityManager) context.getApplicationContext()
                .getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
