My app leaks Bitmaps of random shapes that I don't have in my drawable folder

I have a strange memory leak problem where my app keeps leaking Bitmap objects and other objects related like VectorDrawables, AnimationDrawables

I have via Eclipse Memory Analyzer and Gimp been able to recover the leaked Bitmap objects and found out that they are random shapes of stars, and squars or circles. I dont have any of these shapes in my res/drawable folders.

Where do they come from and why are they leaking so much? This leak happend on my Samsung Galaxy S7 - Android 7.0 and on emulator with Android 7.0 and 6.0. But there are no leaks when I run my app on a Huawai running Android 4.4.4

Here is a link to my hprof. file if someone would take a closer look: https://www.dropbox.com/s/e1ry3ny5eb66xk8/out3%20-%20Kopi.hprof?dl=0

I had the same issue with the S7 after updating to API 24, I was able to remove this error by disabling the GPU monitor in Android Studio. Looks like it definitely is an android studio issue, perhaps only with the S7.

So this problem is so hard to debug and it took me a whole weeks work on it. This leak came out of no where and CanaryLeak can't even detect it.

I uninstalled Android Studio, deleted all remaning folders in the pc that is under AppData in your User folder and everything else related to Android or Android Studio under your C:/User and Program files and even the SDK folder.

Made a full clean up of the register with CCleaner and then downloaded Android Studio again, cloned my project from Git and then I ran my app again and here it was! NO LEAKS AT ALL.

I'm pretty sure that this crazy leak has nothing to do with your own app but something with Android Studio or something completely else
