Long press EditText crash: Unable to add window


I am trying to do a long click in an EditText, but when I do a long Click, I receive the error below. I would like to be able to do a long click to get the Copy/Paste/Select All context popup so that the user can paste text into the box.

Fatal Exception: android.view.WindowManager$BadTokenException: Unable to add window -- token android.view.ViewRootImpl$W@799bfc6 is not valid; is your activity running?

The EditText is in a ScrollView in a PopupWindow. So when the error occurs, I am currently active on an Activity with the PopupWindow open and I do a Long Click within the EditText that is contained on the PopupWindow.

Gradle Settings

Pop up the Window:

     noteDialog(getResources().getString(R.string.laborentryresolutionstart), tv_labor_entry_resolution_start);
}

public void noteDialog(String noteTitle, final TextView tv_resolution_note)

    LayoutInflater layoutInflater = (LayoutInflater) getBaseContext().getSystemService(LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
            final View popupView;
            popupView = layoutInflater.inflate(R.layout.resolution_note, null);

            TextView title = (TextView) popupView.findViewById(R.id.title);
            title.setText(noteTitle);

            final EditText editText = (EditText) popupView.findViewById(R.id.et_note_msz);
            final PopupWindow popupWindow = new PopupWindow(popupView, ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, true);
            popupWindow.update();

                @Override

            if (!tv_resolution_note.getText().toString().isEmpty()) {
                editText.setText(tv_resolution_note.getText().toString());

            System.gc();
            try {

                        popupWindow.dismiss();

                        InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
                        imm.toggleSoftInput(InputMethodManager.RESULT_HIDDEN, 0);

                        invalidateOptionsMenu();
                    }
                });
            } catch (Exception e) {
            }

            popupWindow.setFocusable(true);
            popupWindow.setBackgroundDrawable(new BitmapDrawable(null, ""));
            popupWindow.showAsDropDown(tv_labor_sym_entry, 0, -60);
            popupWindow.update();     
}

Solution

  • We went with a redesign to take away the popup and eliminate the bug that was there.
