hi, my app has a search function which when a button is clicked, it creates a new dialog and then start a new background thread that performs an asynchronous http request, when the http request is finished, the background thread cancels the dialog and the data is displayed on screen.
I notice however, if i change the orientation of the screen while the background thread is running, the app will crash. The error log shows the following: W/dalvikvm( 292): threadid=3: thread exiting with uncaught exception (group=0x40010e28) E/AndroidRuntime( 292): Uncaught handler: thread main exiting due to uncaught exception E/AndroidRuntime( 292): java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: View not attached to window manager E/AndroidRuntime( 292): at android.view.WindowManagerImpl.findViewLocked(WindowManagerImpl.java: 331) E/AndroidRuntime( 292): at android.view.WindowManagerImpl.removeView(WindowManagerImpl.java:200) E/AndroidRuntime( 292): at android.view.Window $LocalWindowManager.removeView(Window.java:401) E/AndroidRuntime( 292): at android.app.Dialog.dismissDialog(Dialog.java:249) E/AndroidRuntime( 292): at android.app.Dialog.access $000(Dialog.java:59) E/AndroidRuntime( 292): at android.app.Dialog $1.run(Dialog.java:93) E/AndroidRuntime( 292): at android.app.Dialog.dismiss(Dialog.java:233) E/AndroidRuntime( 292): at android.app.Dialog.cancel(Dialog.java:838) E/AndroidRuntime( 292): at com.yellowbook.android2.SearchHelper $3.handleMessage(SearchHelper.java:97) E/AndroidRuntime( 292): at android.os.Handler.dispatchMessage(Handler.java:88) E/AndroidRuntime( 292): at android.os.Looper.loop(Looper.java: 123) E/AndroidRuntime( 292): at android.app.ActivityThread.main(ActivityThread.java:3742) E/AndroidRuntime( 292): at java.lang.reflect.Method.invokeNative(Native Method) E/AndroidRuntime( 292): at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:515) E/AndroidRuntime( 292): at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit $MethodAndArgsCaller.run(ZygoteInit.java:739) E/AndroidRuntime( 292): at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit.main(ZygoteInit.java:497) E/AndroidRuntime( 292): at dalvik.system.NativeStart.main(Native Method) Does anyone knows a better way to do async processing that wont crash on orientation change?
