java.lang.IllegalStateException: Can not perform this action after onSaveInstanceState

I'm using the support library for my app. In my FragmentActivity I'm using an AsyncTask for downloading data from internet. In the onPreExecute() method I add a Fragment and in the onPostExecute() method I remove it again. When the orientation is changed in between, I get the above mentioned exception. Please take a look at the details:

private class onFriendAddedAsyncTask extends AsyncTask<String, Void, String> {
    DummyFragment dummyFragment; 
    FragmentManager fm;
    FragmentTransaction ft;

@Override
protected void onPreExecute() {
    Log.v("MyFragmentActivity", "onFriendAddedAsyncTask/onPreExecute");
    dummyFragment = DummyFragment.newInstance();
    fm = getSupportFragmentManager();
    ft = fm.beginTransaction();
    ft.add(dummyFragment, "dummy_fragment");
    ft.commit();
}

@Override
protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
    Log.v("MyFragmentActivity", "onFriendAddedAsyncTask/onPostExecute");
    ft = fm.beginTransaction();
    ft.remove(dummyFragment);
    ft.commit();
}

@Override
protected String doInBackground(String... name) {
    Log.v("MyFragmentActivity", "onFriendAddedAsyncTask/doInBackground");
    ...
}

I get following LogCut:

In other threads about similar problems the reason seems to be that the onPostExecute method is called before the onResume() method is called. But I get the exception even though onResume() is called before.

Does someone knows what's wrong?

The Activity looks like this:

public class MyFragmentActivity extends FragmentActivity implements OnFriendSelectedListener, OnFriendAddedListener, OnFriendOptionSelectedListener, LoaderCallbacks<Cursor> {

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    Log.v("MyFragmentActivity", "onCreate");
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.fragment_activity_layout);
    FragmentManager fm = getSupportFragmentManager();
    FragmentTransaction ft = fm.beginTransaction();
    FriendListFragment friendListFragment = (FriendListFragment)fm.findFragmentById(R.id.friend_list_fragment_layout);
    if (friendListFragment == null) {
        friendListFragment = new FriendListFragment(); 
        ft.add(R.id.friend_list_fragment_layout, friendListFragment);
        ft.commit();
        fm.executePendingTransactions();
        startService(new Intent(this, MyIntentService.class));
        getSupportLoaderManager().initLoader(CHECK_EMPTY_DATABASE, null, this);
    }
}

    @Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
    getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.fragment_activity_options_menu, menu);
    return true;
}

@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
    super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
    switch (item.getItemId()) {
    case R.id.add_friend_menu_item:
        AddFriendDialogFragment addFriendDialogFragment = AddFriendDialogFragment.newInstance();
        addFriendDialogFragment.show(getSupportFragmentManager(), "add_friend_dialog_fragment");
        return true;
    default:
        return false;
    }
}

@Override
public void onFriendAdded(String name) {
    name = name.trim();
    if (name.length() > 0) {
        new onFriendAddedAsyncTask().execute(name);
    }
}

When using commitAllowingStateLoss() I get the following exception:

I get the same IllegalStateExeption when I implement the AsynTask as follows, because the findFragmentById() method returns a null pointer.

private class onFriendAddedAsyncTask extends AsyncTask<String, Void, String> {

    protected void onPreExecute() {
        Log.v("MyFragmentActivity", "onFriendAddedAsyncTask/onPreExecute");
        FragmentManager fm = getSupportFragmentManager();
        FragmentTransaction ft = fm.beginTransaction();
        DummyFragment dummyFragment = DummyFragment.newInstance();
        ft.add(R.id.dummy_fragment_layout, dummyFragment);
        ft.commit();
    }

    protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
        Log.v("MyFragmentActivity", "onFriendAddedAsyncTask/onPostExecute");
        FragmentManager fm = getSupportFragmentManager();
        FragmentTransaction ft = fm.beginTransaction();
        DummyFragment dummyFragment = (DummyFragment) fm.findFragmentById(R.id.dummy_fragment_layout);
        ft.remove(dummyFragment);
        ft.commitAllowingStateLoss();
    }

In the next step I use a handler for the adding and removing the DummyFragment. Additionally I've added some more debug output.

private class onFriendAddedAsyncTask extends AsyncTask<String, Void, String> {

    @Override
    protected void onPreExecute() {
        Log.v("MyFragmentActivity", "onFriendAddedAsyncTask/onPreExecute " + getSupportFragmentManager());
        Log.v("MyFragmentActivity", "onFriendAddedAsyncTask/onPreExecute " + getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.dummy_fragment_layout));
        Log.v("MyFragmentActivity", "onFriendAddedAsyncTask/onPreExecute " + getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.friend_list_fragment_layout));

        new Handler().post(new Runnable() {
            public void run() {
                Log.v("MyFragmentActivity", "onFriendAddedAsyncTask/onPreExecute " + getSupportFragmentManager());
                Log.v("MyFragmentActivity", "onFriendAddedAsyncTask/onPreExecute " + getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.dummy_fragment_layout));
                Log.v("MyFragmentActivity", "onFriendAddedAsyncTask/onPreExecute " + getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.friend_list_fragment_layout));
                FragmentManager fm = getSupportFragmentManager();
                FragmentTransaction ft = fm.beginTransaction();
                DummyFragment dummyFragment = DummyFragment.newInstance();
                ft.add(R.id.dummy_fragment_layout, dummyFragment);
                ft.commit();
            }
        });

    @Override
    protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
        Log.v("MyFragmentActivity", "onFriendAddedAsyncTask/onPostExecute " + getSupportFragmentManager());
        Log.v("MyFragmentActivity", "onFriendAddedAsyncTask/onPostExecute " + getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.dummy_fragment_layout));
        Log.v("MyFragmentActivity", "onFriendAddedAsyncTask/onPostExecute " + getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.friend_list_fragment_layout));

        new Handler().post(new Runnable() {
            public void run() {
                Log.v("MyFragmentActivity", "onFriendAddedAsyncTask/onPostExecute " + getSupportFragmentManager());
                Log.v("MyFragmentActivity", "onFriendAddedAsyncTask/onPostExecute " + getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.dummy_fragment_layout));
                Log.v("MyFragmentActivity", "onFriendAddedAsyncTask/onPostExecute " + getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.friend_list_fragment_layout));
                FragmentManager fm = getSupportFragmentManager();
                FragmentTransaction ft = fm.beginTransaction();
                DummyFragment dummyFragment = (DummyFragment) fm.findFragmentById(R.id.dummy_fragment_layout);
                ft.remove(dummyFragment);
                ft.commitAllowingStateLoss();
            }
        });

I get following LogCut:

In onPreExecute() the FriendListFragment has the id=0x7f0a0002. Inside the handler the DummyFragment is created with id=0x7f0a0004. In onPostExecute() both IDs are null. In onPreExecute() the address of MyFragmentActivity is 45e38358. but in onPostExecute() it's null. But in both methods the FragmentManager address is 45e384a8. I guess onPostExecute uses an invalid FragmentManager. But why?

You should do the transaction in a Handler as follows:

@Override
protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
    Log.v("MyFragmentActivity", "onFriendAddedAsyncTask/onPostExecute");
    new Handler().post(new Runnable() {
            public void run() {
                fm = getSupportFragmentManager();
                ft = fm.beginTransaction();
                ft.remove(dummyFragment);
                ft.commit();
            }
        });
}
