Even though the View leak

bug 36949180

is fixed in Android N, on older devices many Android apps that use Fragments are supposed to be still suffering from that bug.

It would be great if we can work around this bug somewhere in the support library so that app developers can easily avoid this issue just by updating the SDK and rebuild their apps.

Typical steps to reproduce this issue (if the app is suffering from

bug 36949180

)
1. Launch the app.
2. Hit the back button on the NavBar.
3. Wait for a while.

Expected behavior:
InputMethodManager#mServedView and InputMethodManager#mNextServedView should be null.

Actual behavior:
InputMethodManager#mServedView and/or InputMethodManager#mNextServedView still holds a strong reference to View object.
