Do I need to be concerned about making sure the database is closed when a FragmentActivity that uses a LoaderEx SQLiteCursorLoader is paused or destroyed?
Thanks much
When the FragmentActivity
is destroyed, it should call reset()
on all Loader
instances it created, which will call onReset()
in the Loader
implementation, which in SQLiteCursorLoader
calls close()
on any outstanding Cursor
.
Note that this happens when the activity is destroyed. There does not seem to be a Loader
equivalent of the managed Cursor
concept of deactivating the Cursor
when the activity is paused. That's a pity, as that was a nice heap management feature, and I'll ponder how to best support that.
If you find evidence that something is being leaked, file an issue in the LoaderEx project with details of how to reproduce the error.
