CursorWindow can not be created due to cursor [memory] leak

記錄了Android系統上由於cursor洩露導致內存耗盡（error -12）導致的CursorWindow不能再創建的Issue。

[Analysis]

logcat中有很明顯的下列輸出

Could not allocate CursorWindow '/data/data/com.android.providers.media/databases/external.db' of size 2097152due to error -12，

主要是due to error -12, ENOMEM，除非是其它原因內存耗盡，否則一般情況下是cursor洩露；注意errno是-12，如果是-24，EMFILE，則表示是進程內文件描述符耗盡，則未必是cursor洩露的原因。

繼續從logcat中向前找，會發現大量的下列輸出，

說明有很明顯的cursor leak。

解決辦法是找到使用cursor的地方，在使用完畢後cursor.close()即可。
