when using a WebView through AndroidView, sometimes the page is not shown. It appears to be random (the same page appears sometime, but sometimes it does not). When the problem happens, sometimes the following error shows up in logcat:

2021-02-16 16:08:34.866 9683-9698/... E/System: Uncaught exception thrown by finalizer
2021-02-16 16:08:34.909 9683-9698/... E/System: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Warning: Router objects should be explicitly closed when no longer required otherwise you may leak handles.

The way I instantiate webview is :

@Composable
fun WebViewView(html: String, ...) {
    AndroidView({ context ->
        val webView = WebView(context)
        // configure webview
        webview
    })
}

This have been happening in all compose versions I have tried. I have not found any similar problem in the bug tracker.

Am I doing something wrong? Should I report a bug?
