AsyncTask onPreExecute progressdialog

I have an AsyncTask when onPreExecute function executes it gives me an exception

** java.lang.IllegalStateException: View com.android.internal.policy.impl.PhoneWindow$DecorView@44ea0e20 has already been added to the window manager.**

when progressDialog's show() method is called.

My Activity

public class TopNewsActivity extends ListActivity {

public static final String LOG_TAG = "Infra";
private ProgressDialog progressDialog;

/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        progressDialog.setCancelable(true);
        progressDialog.setMessage("Loading...");
        progressDialog.setProgressStyle(ProgressDialog.STYLE_SPINNER);

}
}

Please Help!!!!!

There is a usual problem with progressdialogs and contexts, it happens to me all the time and there's a section on the android doc for this exact problem. You have probably declared it with a context of "this" when the context should actually be the name of your Java class followed by ".this".

dialog = ProgressDialog.show(Example.this, "",
                "Doing stuff. Please wait...", true);

This is because you want the progressDialog to show in the main class, not in the Async class.

If this doesn't solve it, you'll need to post the code.

---

if ((numResults <= 0)) {
    Toast.makeText(TopNewsActivity.this, "No Result Found.",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
    finish();
}

I believe this is not a good thing to do. Don't finish your activity from the non ui thread. Just return null.

Try removing the super.onPreExecute();

Thank you everybody but i've figured out what the problem was, I'm using ActivityGroup so I needed to put progressDialog = new ProgressDialog(TopNewsGroup.group); this solved my problem

:)

You can use setProgressBaIndeterminateVisibility(true)

@Override
    protected void onPreExecute() {
        setProgressBarIndeterminateVisibility(true);
    }

---

Take the Dialog for example.

Judge from the Android source code, let's watch what happened when you called method Dialog#show() method. The code can be simplified as below:

    public void show() {
        if (mShowing) {
            // ...
            return;
        }
        // ...
        mDecor = mWindow.getDecorView();
        mWindowManager.addView(mDecor, l);
        // ...
        mShowing = true;
        // ...
    }

The mDecor field was got from mWidnow, the mWindow field was got from Dialog's construcor:

    Dialog(@NonNull Context context, @StyleRes int themeResId, boolean createContextThemeWrapper) {
        // ...
        final Window w = new PhoneWindow(mContext);
        mWindow = w;
        // ...
    }

So that means one Dialog has one mWindow, one mWindow has one mDecor.

When the mWindowManager.addView(mDecor, l) was called, it went to the WindowManagerGlobal#addView().

    public void addView(View view, ViewGroup.LayoutParams params,
            Display display, Window parentWindow) {
        // ...
        synchronized (mLock) {
            // ...
            int index = findViewLocked(view, false);
            if (index >= 0) {
                if (mDyingViews.contains(view)) {
                    mRoots.get(index).doDie();
                } else {
                    // EXCEPTION HERE!!!
                    throw new IllegalStateException("View " + view
                            + " has already been added to the window manager.");
                }
            }
            // ...
        }
    }

The WindowManagerGlobal was singleton, so that means if you add the same view to WindowManagerGlobal twice, it will crash.

We can reprocedure this exception:

val dlg = AlertDialog.Builder(context).create()
dlg.setView(View.inflate(context, R.layout.layout_dialog_title_sample, null))
dlg.show()
val f = Dialog::class.java.getDeclaredField("mShowing")
f.isAccessible = true
f.setBoolean(dlg, false)
dlg.show()

or,

        dlg = AlertDialog.Builder(context).create()
        dlg?.setView(View.inflate(context, R.layout.layout_dialog_title_sample, null))
        dlg?.show()
        dlg?.dismiss()
        for (i in 1..2) {
            Thread(Runnable {
                Looper.prepare()
                dlg?.show()
                Looper.loop()
            }).start()
        }

Above, we change the the field mShowing after the Dialog#show() was called to show the dialog 'twice'. And finally it throws the exception:

So the final resolution of solving this problem was to check if you showed dialog twice exceptially in different thread.
