Activity using CacheWord has leaked ServiceConnection - service

Question

Trying to use CacheWord in an app with multiple activities to handle my password for database encryption I get randomly the error that the activity has leaked ServiceConnection ... that was originally bound here.
I think this problem is caused by not disconnecting proberly the service when onDestroy() is called. But I don't know how to do this.
There is the structure of my MainActivity:
package de.my.app;
import info.guardianproject.cacheword.CacheWordActivityHandler;
import info.guardianproject.cacheword.CacheWordHandler;
import info.guardianproject.cacheword.ICacheWordSubscriber;
import java.io.File;

import android.view.KeyEvent;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuInflater;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import android.view.WindowManager;
import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;
import android.widget.Toast;
public class Home extends Activity implements ICacheWordSubscriber {
private static final String TAG = Home.class.getSimpleName();
private Menu mainMenu;
// removed more definitions
private CacheWordActivityHandler mCacheWord;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
SQLiteDatabase.loadLibs(this);
mCacheWord = new CacheWordActivityHandler(this, this);
}
#Override
protected void onPause() {
super.onPause();
mCacheWord.onPause();
Log.d(TAG,"onPause()");
}
#Override
protected void onResume() {
super.onStart();
mCacheWord.onResume();
Log.d(TAG,"onResume()");
}
private void closeDatabase()
{
Log.d(TAG,"closeDatabase()");
if (dbHandler != null) {
dbHandler.close();
dbHandler = null;
}
}
void showLockScreen() {
Log.d(TAG,"showLockScreen()");
Intent intent = new Intent(this, LockScreenActivity.class);
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP);
intent.putExtra("originalIntent", getIntent());
startActivity(intent);
finish();
}
void lock() {
Log.d(TAG,"lock()");
closeDatabase();
System.gc();
showLockScreen();
}
private void unlockDatabase()
{
Log.d(TAG,"unlockDatabase()");
dbHandler = new TBOpenHandler(mCacheWord, this);
try
{
dbHandler.open();
} catch (Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
Toast.makeText(this, getString(R.string.err_pass), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
#Override
public void onCacheWordUninitialized() {
Log.d(TAG, "onCacheWordUninitialized()");
showLockScreen();
}
#Override
public void onCacheWordLocked() {
Log.d(TAG, "onCacheWordLocked()");
lock();
}
#Override
public void onCacheWordOpened() {
Log.d(TAG, "onCacheWordOpened()");
unlockDatabase();
if (dbHandler.isOpen()) {
inhalt();
}
}
private void inhalt() {
// removed the content
}
}
And there're the error messages:

Is there a way to fis this problem?

Answer 1

It's a bit late answer, but you never know.
I had the same problem, and it was, because I didn't have the correct service in AndroidManifest.
I mean, I had the service, but, when I did a refactor of the name package, eclipse changed the package of the service.
So take a look into the AndroidManifest, and be sure you have in this way:
<service
android:name="info.guardianproject.cacheword.CacheWordService"
android:enabled="true"
android:exported="false" />
