Memory leak with setOnClickListener(this) and setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener(){})

Question

I read about avoiding memory leaks

to avoid context-related memory leaks, remember the following:

• Try using the context-application instead of a context-activity

And I have 2 questions :

1. If I use setOnClickListener(this), will it cause a memory leak?
2. If I use setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener(){}), will it cause a memory leak?

Answer 1

1 - If I use setOnClickListener(this), will it cause a memory leak?

Not necessary, "this" implements OnClickListener and if you don't leak yourself... for example running a thread in onClick will leak, using a non static inner class will leak, so the answer is setOnClickListener(this) will leak only if your implementation of onClick(View view) leaks.

2 - If I use setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener(){}), will it cause a memory leak?

Is the same question, depends on what do you implement for OnClickListener.onClick... do not leak the class were you implement new View.OnclickListener.... and you will be fine.
