BadTokenException even on Activity's Context

Question

I have initialized progressDialog with Activity's context as suggested and still app crashes a lot with "BadTokenException error".

Error log:

02-14 21:20:40.318: E/AndroidRuntime(17548): FATAL EXCEPTION: main 02-14 21:20:40.318: E/AndroidRuntime(17548): Process: com.xyz.abx.app, PID: 17548 02-14 21:20:40.318: E/AndroidRuntime(17548): android.view.WindowManager$BadTokenException: Unable to add window -- token android.os.BinderProxy@1494d8e8 is not valid; is your activity running? 02-14 21:20:40.318: E/AndroidRuntime(17548): at android.view.ViewRootImpl.setView(ViewRootImpl.java:562) 02-14 21:20:40.318: E/AndroidRuntime(17548): at android.view.WindowManagerGlobal.addView(WindowManagerGlobal.java:272) 02-14 21:20:40.318: E/AndroidRuntime(17548): at android.view.WindowManagerImpl.addView(WindowManagerImpl.java:69) 02-14 21:20:40.318: E/AndroidRuntime(17548): at android.app.Dialog.show(Dialog.java:298) 02-14 21:20:40.318: E/AndroidRuntime(17548): at com.payumoney.appower.app.PaymentWebView$2.onPageStarted(PaymentWebView.java:86) 02-14 21:20:40.318: E/AndroidRuntime(17548): at com.android.webview.chromium.WebViewContentsClientAdapter.onPageStarted(WebViewContentsClientAdapter.java:484) 02-14 21:20:40.318: E/AndroidRuntime(17548): at com.android.org.chromium.android_webview.AwContentsClientCallbackHelper$MyHandler.handleMessage(AwContentsClientCallbackHelper.java:107) 02-14 21:20:40.318: E/AndroidRuntime(17548): at android.os.Handler.dispatchMessage(Handler.java:102) 02-14 21:20:40.318: E/AndroidRuntime(17548): at android.os.Looper.loop(Looper.java:135) 02-14 21:20:40.318: E/AndroidRuntime(17548): at android.app.ActivityThread.main(ActivityThread.java:5221) 02-14 21:20:40.318: E/AndroidRuntime(17548): at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Native Method) 02-14 21:20:40.318: E/AndroidRuntime(17548): at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:372) 02-14 21:20:40.318: E/AndroidRuntime(17548): at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit$MethodAndArgsCaller.run(ZygoteInit.java:899) 02-14 21:20:40.318: E/AndroidRuntime(17548): at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit.main(ZygoteInit.java:694)

Crash occurs here:

@Override
        public void onPageStarted(WebView view, String url, Bitmap favicon)
        {
            super.onPageStarted(view,url,favicon);
                if (!progress.isShowing()&PaymentWebView.class!=null)           {
                    progress.show();
                }
        }

and initializationin the oncreate:

    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_payment_web_view);

    progress = new ProgressDialog(this);
    progress.setMessage("Please wait");

    mWebview = (WebView)findViewById(R.id.paymentWebView);
    mWebview.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
    imm = (InputMethodManager)this.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
    Bundle extras = getIntent().getExtras();
    mWebview.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
    mWebview.getSettings().setDomStorageEnabled(true);

`

I have also used Activity.this and getapplicationcontext without any result. Please suggest what might be crashing with badtokenexception on progressdialog when context is ok.enter code here

Thanks guys the following worked for me:

@Override
    public void onPageStarted(WebView view, String url, Bitmap favicon)
    {
        super.onPageStarted(view,url,favicon);
            if (!progress.isShowing()&PaymentWebView.class!=null&!isFinishing)           {
                progress.show();
            }
    }

if(!isFinishing) condition prevents .show() from executing, when for any reason object of the Activity losses the context. I will also update this if I find out why context was being lost when activity was in foreground and user was interacting with webview.

Net outcome: at some pages while navigating in the webview progressdialog is not shown.(I think a crash occured at this point earlier)

see : Android : BadTokenException when I want to show a progresssDialog a second time

Move your dialog logic to the onResume method of your activity, when onCreate is called the activity is not yet running and will cause a badtokenexception.

Hope that helps.
