Closing cursor in finalizer to avoid GREF and fd leak in acore
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The finalize() call did not clean up completely, this eventually
caused the android.process.acore to crash since it ran out of fds
and GREF to increased above 2000 if an application forgot to close
its cursor objects. A warning was also added when this happens so
that application developers can correct their mistake. The
included test case tries to verify that the finalizer works as
expected by creating a bunch of Cursor objects without closing
them (without this fix the acore process crashes after about 400
iterations and the test case ends with "Process crashed").
