Autocomplete drop-down box in popup causes Android app to force close. Why?

I have an auto complete box which I am trying to implement in a popup window in my Android app. Putting this popup box in my main activity layout works fine. When I moved it to my popup layout, it will successfully display on the screen. However, when I type beyond the autocomplete threshhold and a match is found (thus triggering the drop down list of items which match my partial text) the application crashes with the following error:

08-08 11:12:53.803 E/AndroidRuntime(22221): android.view.WindowManager$BadTokenException: Unable to add window -- token android.view.ViewRoot$W@4057f5c0 is not valid; is your activity running?

And here is the code I use (the popup is launched on button click, where the button is located in main layout of the activity):

public void onClick(View v) {
   LayoutInflater inflater = 
             (LayoutInflater) getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
   PopupWindow pw = new PopupWindow(
             inflater.inflate(R.layout.auto_complete_location, null, false), 
             400, 600, true);
   AutoCompleteTextView autoCompleteLocationsView =(AutoCompleteTextView)
             pw.getContentView().findViewById(R.id.autoCompleteLocations);
   ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new 开发者_JAVA技巧ArrayAdapter<String>
             (autoCompleteLocationsView.getContext(),
              android.R.layout.simple_dropdown_item_1line, locationNames);
   autoCompleteLocationsView.setAdapter(adapter);
   pw.showAtLocation(findViewById(R.id.mainActivityContainer), Gravity.CENTER, 0, 0);
}

Thanks in advance for any help.
