Memory Leak on a Fragment Instance

This seems to be an elusive one. I set up an Interface to communicate between a Fragment and an Activity. I set this mCoordinator Interface variable up in onAttach() then i realized I was not nulling it out in onDetach(). I fixed that issue but still am getting a memory leak.

@pyricau This isn't a framework issue, is it?

[pyricau]

Probably not. Please see https://github.com/square/leakcanary#how-do-i-fix-a-memory-leak

I opened an issue here

Also I tried to add the leakcanary tag but it requires a 1500 reputation on StackOverflow.

Added the tag :) . this is just the beginning so the tag doesn't exist yet.

Thanks.

@pyricau question about Fragment, do i need to add RefWatcher to detect leaks in Fragment, or is LeakCanary.install() in Application class enough to detect leaks on both Activities and Fragments ?
