Android EditText and OnEditorActionListener - memory leak

I am tracking down a memory leak in my Android app and this EditText uses a lot of memory (2.8MB) and disabling it makes the leak disappear.

So can anyone spot a (potential) memoryleak in this code? I find it a bit problematic that I never return true from the OnEditorActionListener since I replace the fragment before (or will the return still be called? I should step through the code and check that).

Also, maybe I am not closing the editor properly, just hiding it away?

 public void addHighscoreEdittext()  {   final HighscoresDatabaseHandler dbHandler = ( (MainActivity) getActivity() ).theDatabasehandler;     HighscoreEdittext = new EditText( getActivity() );   HighscoreEdittext.setX( ( actualScreenSizeX - actualScreenSizeX / 8 * 6 ) / 2 );   HighscoreEdittext.setY( actualScreenSizeY / 10 * 3 );     LayoutParams lparams = new LayoutParams( actualScreenSizeX / 8 * 6, actualScreenSizeY / 6 );   HighscoreEdittext.setLayoutParams( lparams );   HighscoreEdittext.setInputType( InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT );     HighscoreEdittext.setBackground( getResources().getDrawable( R.layout.start_finish_button ) );     HighscoreEdittext.setTextColor( Constants.TEXT_COLOR_ON_TRANSPARENT_BROWN );   HighscoreEdittext.setHintTextColor( Constants.TEXT_COLOR_ON_TRANSPARENT_BROWN );   HighscoreEdittext.setHint( "New best time! Enter name..." );     ((ViewGroup) (getActivity()).findViewById( android.R.id.content )).addView( HighscoreEdittext );     HighscoreEdittext.setOnEditorActionListener(   new EditText.OnEditorActionListener()   {   @Override   public boolean onEditorAction( TextView v, int actionId, KeyEvent event )   {   if ( actionId == EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_DONE )   {   SharedData.GameFinished = false;     String name = v.getText().toString();   if ( name.length() > 8 )   {   name = name.substring( 0, 8 );   }   dbHandler.updateHighscore(   new Highscore(   SharedData.LevelPlayed,   name,   SharedData.LevelTime ) );     /* Hide keyboard */   HighscoreEdittext.clearFocus();   InputMethodManager in = (InputMethodManager) getActivity().getSystemService( Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE );   in.hideSoftInputFromWindow( HighscoreEdittext.getApplicationWindowToken(),   InputMethodManager.HIDE_NOT_ALWAYS );     ((ViewGroup) getActivity().findViewById( android.R.id.content )).removeView( HighscoreEdittext );     FragmentManager fragmentManager = getActivity().getSupportFragmentManager();   FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction = fragmentManager.beginTransaction();   fragmentTransaction.replace( R.id.fragment_content, new ChooseLevelFragment(), "chooselevel" );   fragmentTransaction.commit();     return true;   }     return false;   }   });   }

Answer

Where you have fragmentTransaction.commit(). This may be the issue since commit is a synchronous task and will cause the app to wait for it. See if you can use an async task for it if you do not need the data right away.
