android.view.WindowManager$BadTokenException Exception. Any pointer?

I have two webviews and to cut out the common functionality from both the webviews I created a super class with all methods in the super class and use it in the two webviews.

Once when I create the object and set the variables from the 1st webview, the WebView displays properly and when I press the 'BACK' button and go to the 2nd WebView I get the folling exception.

Any help?

First WebView Code

public class firstWebView extends Activity {

    private static final String LOG_TAG = "FirstWebView";
    public static final int VIDEO_PLAY = 0;
    private WebView mWebView;
    private NicuWebView _nicuWebView;
    private static final String URL = mainMenuActivity.urlSelected+"todo.html";    

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle icicle) {
        super.onCreate(icicle);
        setContentView(R.layout.webview);
        getWindow().setFeatureInt(Window.FEATURE_PROGRESS, Window.PROGRESS_VISIBILITY_ON);
        mWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);
        _nicuWebView = NicuWebView.getNicuWebView(mWebView);
//      mWebView.setWebChromeClient(new MyWebChromeClient());
        final Activity activity = this;
        NicuWebView.setContext(activity);
        setProgressBarVisibility(true);
        int count = (int) _nicuWebView.loadUrl(URL);
        Toast.makeText(this, "Count = "+count, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }

public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
    if ((keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK) && mWebView.canGoBack()) {
//          startActivity(new Intent(getApplication(), mainMenuActivity.class));
            mWebView.goBack();
            return true;
        }
        return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);
    } 

Code for Second is similar to the first one but the URL points to a different html page.

The problem is that the dialog need to have the "base" context of your activity, not necessarily the one you're launching it from.

Here's one solution which often works

Activity a = this;
while(a.getParent() != null) {
    a = a.getParent();
}
_nicuWebView.setContext(a);

One way to see what's going on with this is to modify that example as follows

Activity a = this;
while(a.getParent() != null) {
    Log.i("ActivityTree",a.getClass().getSimpleName());
    a = a.getParent();
}
_nicuWebView.setContext(a);

adb will then show you the hierarchy of activities which you're inside.

use this :

private Handler myHandler = new Handler() {
  @Override
  public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
    switch (msg.what) {
      case DISPLAY_DLG:
        if (!isFinishing()) {
        showDialog(MY_DIALOG);
        }
      break;
    }
  }
};

---

You just have to add:

public void onResume() {
        super.onResume();
        mContext = this;
    }

When you create the WebView you are currently using the context of the application. You should be using the context of the Activity. To solve the problem, replace getApplicationContext() with this when you create the WebView.
