How to prevent memory leaks from gms.Task?

Question

I use tasks in viewModel and want to remove listeners in onCleared but there is no method to do that, is it needed or not? I have found onCompleteListener with activity paramenter that in result clears listener in onStop but i'd like to leave authentication logic in VM.

Answer 1

It is not needed. It should be garbage collected after the Task itself completes and becomes garbage collected.
