IllegalStateException - Fragment support library
I have a serious problem with my App continously crashing on some users devices with the following exception in an Activity onStart method:
Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Can not perform this action after onSaveInstanceState
at android.support.v4.app.FragmentManagerImpl.checkStateLoss(FragmentManager.java:1299)
at android.support.v4.app.FragmentManagerImpl.enqueueAction(FragmentManager.java:1310)
at android.support.v4.app.BackStackRecord.commitInternal(BackStackRecord.java:541)
at android.support.v4.app.BackStackRecord.commit(BackStackRecord.java:525)
at android.support.v4.app.DialogFragment.show(DialogFragment.java:123)
I cannot reproduce this error locally in my emulator. I have found a few questions regarding this issue on stackoverflow: here and here
I have tried the suggested solution, i.e. do not allow empty bundles in onSaveInstance neither in fragments nor activities.
However the problem remains. This is the only Crash report I ever get, and I get it continously.
Does anyone have a working solution?
Answer
I have solved this issue by
- upgrading my support lib to revision 10
- using workaround posted here: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=23096 i.e.. Add a non-ui fragment in onResumeFragments and invoke further transactions in Listener Callback.
Check my answer here for code: "Can not perform this action after onSaveInstanceState" - why am I getting this exception from my activity's onResume method?
Got no more IllegalStateException so far.
