Fatal Exception: android.view.WindowManager$BadTokenException Unable to add window -- token is not valid; is your activity running?


I know this question is discussed several time but believe me i never got any answer working. In my Main Activity i have used few Dialog to inform user about some operations but i get this specific error mostly (specifically 96%) on Xiaomi devices. `

Fatal Exception: android.view.WindowManager$BadTokenException

com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit.main (ZygoteInit.java:794) I covered each Dialog Show method like

if (!MainActivityNew.this.isFinishing())
dialogDownload.show();

` But still i am getting this error in release mode mostly on Xiaomi Devices With Android Version 7, Please help me i stuck on this problem from past one month.

Here is some data from firebase Crashlytics

Devices 100% Xiaomi Operating systems 100% Android 7 Device states 4% background


Solution

  • This problem is not because of Dialog but with Toast. Mainly this Toast issue is in android 7.1 version where the context become null. There is a solution created by this gentleman Solution . I have tested and this is working very well. You can try this.

     if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT == 25) {
                    ToastCompat.makeText(context, message, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
                            .setBadTokenListener(toast -> {
                                Log.e("failed toast", message);
                            }).show();
                } else {
                    Toast.makeText(context, message, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                }
