Strange error since upgrading to Android 4.2.2 - Activity has leaked IntentReceiver

Question

I upgraded my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 to Android 4.2.2 last night, and have since spotted some strange errors in LogCat which didn't appear before I 'upgraded'.

I was hoping that it was highlighting a hidden bug or memory leak in my application, but I can't find anything.

It seems to only occur if the activity I'm on has a Spinner, and that Spinner is expanded.

The error is as below.

Activity uk.co.xxxx.xxxx has leaked IntentReceiver com.immersion.android.haptics.HapticFeedbackManager$HapticFeedbackBroadcastReceiver@41e4bac0 that was originally registered here. Are you missing a call to unregisterReceiver()?

Has anyone else seen this? do you think it's safe to ignore as it's only occurring on one of my devices?

--- Edit ---

And, incidentally, I'm not registering any receivers anywhere, so there's nothing to unregister.

Answer 1

I have the similar problem and I've asked this question on the Haptic developer's forum and received the following reply:

The exception you see is a harmless warning and the OS will take care of freeing the resources mentioned in the exception. In other words, no need to worry or do anything about it.
