The view is not attached to a window

Question

What does the warning The view is not attached to a window mean? I am constantly getting it in Logcat, while trying to debug my game.

The exact output:

12-27 18:14:12.415: W/View(16827): The view is not attached to a window

I've searched for this warning and couldn't find anything on it. All I got was the error about Window Manager, which is not what am I getting here. I want to know the reason for this warning, just to confirm if it's related to the FPS drop?

The question is old. I've already finished the project. I still don't have any idea about the warning message. Although the FPS drop was due to some other issue. — 0xC0DED00D, Sep 18 '13 at 20:30
Yes, I saw that it is old. Just encountered this myself, but this was not a game. I think it's a bug specific for a concrete device... — Display Name, Sep 18 '13 at 20:33
Yeah I guess so, try to debug on any other device. Probably you can solve the mystery ;-) — 0xC0DED00D, Sep 18 '13 at 20:34
I saw this only on one device, and that device is known for having strange issues. But if I can know what the heck these messages mean... — Display Name, Sep 18 '13 at 20:36

This means that you have any dialog box running while the orientation changes. Just dismiss the dialog in your onFinish or onDestroy of the activity.
