Answer 1

Window leaked exceptions are usually caused by dialogs which are not dismissed properly. ie if you are planning to dismiss a dialog in Onpostexecute of asynctask and the activity that created it has ended it will throw a window leak. Make sure you dimisss dialog in onPause of the activity.

Answer 2

Whenever you initiate a ProgressDialog, that should be dismissed properly after the background task gets done, or even cancellation of the background running task. So,

instead of mProgressBar.hide(); use mProgressBar.dismiss();

you will not get android.view.WindowLeaked error

hope this helps

Answer 3

Check if you are using finish() function before the mDialog.show() function. If it is remove the finish() and add it after the show().
