A resource was acquired at attached stack trace but never released. See java.io.Closeable for information on avoiding resource leaks

That means you have opened something but never close them.Closable have a method close which you must call to release the resources associated with the component when you no longer need it.

To look for the leak, you can try MAT, I often use it to find memory leaks(static data holding a reference to Activity, etc).


For me the problem happened because I was overriding the method onBackPressed() without calling the super()

@Override
public void onBackPressed() {
    //some coding here
    super.onBackPressed();
}

if you see something like:

in your stacktrace, there is a known bug in older versions of okhttp that you can avoid by forcing the use of a newer version in your gradle file.

compile 'com.squareup.okhttp3:okhttp:3.2.0'

that solved a very similar problem for me at least.
