Android emulator spams logcat with "Service com.android.exchange.ExchangeService has leaked ServiceConnection ... that was originally bound here

Question

I am working on a very simple application in Android. I made a splash screen, main menu and a page with radio buttons and a button (which plays a sound depending on a radiobutton checked). The application works fine (doesn't crash) but I'm getting all these errors all the time in logcat (I run application with emulator). What could that be? How could I fix it? Should I be worried? I will post codes additionally when someone asks because I don't know where could the problem be and I don't want to post all .java and xml files to spam without a reason.

Errors in logcat :

Answer 1

A simpler fix is to disable "Exchange Services" in the emulated device under Settings : Apps : All

(you may need to swipe over to see the "All" tab)

Answer 2

Nothing helped me until I deleted this current emulator device. After that I have set up a completely new virtual device. My new emulator device doesn't have all these errors. This fixed my problem.

Answer 3

In my case what worked was turning off the Firewall (I use Windows 8 machine with the latest SDK for Android, 4.2).

Answer 4

After 60minutes of searching around this error I spotted that I just had an infiniteloop which caused this exchange service spam until app-shutdown. just leaving this here in case anyone else overthinks it
