Why there is another application called Leaks installed on the Android device when I use ZXing Bar code Library ? -

i have application uses zxing barcode scanner library, when run application on device, there additional application installed called "leaks". why application installed on device ? when open nothing happens ?

it's application called leak canary.

// development purposes // https://github.com/square/leakcanary debugcompile 'com.squareup.leakcanary:leakcanary-android:1.3.1' releasecompile 'com.squareup.leakcanary:leakcanary-android-no-op:1.3.1' 

remove these lines build.gradle file if have them.

you should have line leakcanary.install(this); in activity file , should remove well.
