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();
            }
        });
}
