Getting memory leaks from Appcelerator Alloy app

Question

I have an Alloy app. It has got 7 windows and opens at same time. When user close a opened window $.removeListener(); $.destroy(); codes runs at window close event. But I am getting memory leaks on Android device. %90 windows has got ListView, every window has got max 2 Listview. What is the right approach for multiple windows?

Answer 1

First of all, why you would want to open 7 windows at same time when user can only see max 1 window at a time.

It's dead simple, open only that window which user should see first, & create a link-flow to other window in previous window.

Can you think of any app on Play Store which does so, if you have, then please send me its link, I would really love to review it?

But if you mean to say that user will see all windows at same time in a scrolling behaviour or like paging, then go to Ti.UI.TabGroup

Answer 2

Are you 100% sure that your event listeners are being removed?

I don't know the function $.removeListener(); is this a custom function?

As a general rule I try and put as many of my event listeners into the xml, as these are automatically removed, and have a custom function destroyMe() that runs onClose which removes any other listeners that I may have used and $.destroy()

Ti.App.addEventListener is a killer too, make sure these are removed if you use them!

ps: i totally understand the 7 windows bit :-)
