Highchart WebView throws IllegalStateException

Question

When I use HIChartView in a layout that is inflated using AsyncLayoutInflater and added to a FrameLayout Highcharts throws java.lang.IllegalStateException. However if I switch to traditional LayoutInflater no exception is thrown.

Exception:

E/AndroidRuntime: FATAL EXCEPTION: main

The code I use for inflation and adding to parent:

new AsyncLayoutInflater(this).inflate(R.layout.bottom_sheet_contents, sheetLayout, (view, resid, parent) -> {
        parent.addView(view);
        detailsViewReady = true;
    });

`HIChartView` is apparently using `WebView` internally, and that never has worked with `AsyncLayoutInflater`, AFAIK. `WebView` must be instantiated on the main thread. If you have to use `HIChartView`, then you'll have to inflate it the old fashioned way. Otherwise, you might have to find a different library. — Mike M., Aug 07 '20 at 19:49
Oh I got it. Are there any ways to postpone the inflation inside onCreate you know. I don't want LayoutInflater to slow down activity creation. — Eray Ocak, Aug 07 '20 at 19:53
Sure, you can postpone to whenever you like, but since `HIChartView` apparently must be instantiated on the main thread, it's gonna have to do its work there sooner or later. I mean, no matter when you finally do it, it'll take the same amount of time on the main thread, whether it's in `onCreate()` or not. You might want to do a little testing first to make sure that the inflation is causing enough of a delay to justify fiddling with your setup. — Mike M., Aug 07 '20 at 20:05
