Spinner error in popup on crash

Question

I have a PopupWindow that is called from a fragment, and everything works except for my Spinner. When I click on my Spinner, it crashes and gives an error message:

"android.view.WindowManager $ BadTokenException: Failed to add window token android.view.ViewRootImpl$W@421a46d8 invalid, is your activity working?"

My code to call a popup in a snippet:

ManagerPopUp mManagerPopUp = new ManagerPopUp(getActivity()); mManagerPopUp.showPopUpAddEvent(); 

My code in ManagerPopUp to display a popup:

 public class ManagerPopUp { private static final String TAG = "PopUpManager"; private Context mContext; public ManagerPopUp(Context mContext){ this.mContext = mContext; } public PopupWindow showPopUpAddEvent(){ final PopupWindow popUp = new PopupWindow(mContext); LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater)mContext.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE); View layout = inflater.inflate(R.layout.popup_add_event, null); //Code for popup event TextView txtRoom, txtTitle, txtEnd, txtStart; ToggleButton tgRepeateWeekly, tgAddReminder; Button btConfirme, btCancel; txtTitle = (TextView)layout.findViewById(R.id.txt_lesson_title_event); txtRoom = (TextView)layout.findViewById(R.id.txt_lesson_room_event); txtStart = (TextView)layout.findViewById(R.id.txt_lesson_start_hour_event); txtEnd = (TextView)layout.findViewById(R.id.txt_lesson_end_hour_event); final Spinner spSelectCalendar = (Spinner)layout.findViewById(R.id.sp_select_calendar); Spinner spSelectReminder = (Spinner)layout.findViewById(R.id.sp_select_reminder_time); tgRepeateWeekly = (ToggleButton)layout.findViewById(R.id.tg_repeate_weekly); tgAddReminder = (ToggleButton)layout.findViewById(R.id.tg_add_reminder); btConfirme = (Button)layout.findViewById(R.id.bt_confirme); btCancel = (Button)layout.findViewById(R.id.bt_cancel); /************************************************************************************************************** * * Initializations * ***************************************************************************************************************/ HandlerCalendarProvider mCalendarProvider = new HandlerCalendarProvider(mContext); final ArrayList<ClassCalendar> mCalendarsList = mCalendarProvider.getAllCalendars(); AdapterCalendarSpinner mAdapterCalendarSpinner = new AdapterCalendarSpinner(mContext, mCalendarsList); spSelectCalendar.setAdapter(mAdapterCalendarSpinner); popUp.setContentView(layout); popUp.setWidth(LinearLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT); popUp.setHeight(LinearLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT); popUp.setFocusable(true); // Some offset to align the popup a bit to the left, and a bit down, relative to button position. popUp.setBackgroundDrawable(new BitmapDrawable(mContext.getResources(), BitmapFactory.decodeResource(mContext.getResources(), R.color.color_popup_background))); //PopUpBackground popUp.showAtLocation(layout, Gravity.NO_GRAVITY, 0 , 0); return popUp; } } 

My Spinner Adapter:

 public class AdapterCalendarSpinner extends BaseAdapter implements SpinnerAdapter { private Context mContext; private ArrayList<ClassCalendar> mCalendarsList; public AdapterCalendarSpinner(Context mContext, ArrayList<ClassCalendar> mCalendarsList) { this.mContext = mContext; this.mCalendarsList = mCalendarsList; } @Override public int getCount() { return mCalendarsList.size(); } @Override public ClassCalendar getItem(int position) { return mCalendarsList.get(position); } @Override public long getItemId(int position) { return position; } @Override public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) { ClassCalendar o = mCalendarsList.get(position); LayoutInflater vi = (LayoutInflater)mContext.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE); convertView = vi.inflate(R.layout.sp_item_calendar_selected, null); LinearLayout llCalColor = (LinearLayout)convertView.findViewById(R.id.ll_calendar_selected_color); TextView txtCalName = (TextView)convertView.findViewById(R.id.txt_calendar_selected_name); TextView txtCalEmail = (TextView)convertView.findViewById(R.id.txt_calendar_selected_email); llCalColor.setBackgroundColor(o.getCalColor()); txtCalName.setText(o.getCalName()); txtCalEmail.setText(o.getCalEmail()); txtCalName.setTextColor(Color.WHITE); txtCalEmail.setTextColor(Color.WHITE); return convertView; } @Override public View getDropDownView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) { ClassCalendar o = mCalendarsList.get(position); LayoutInflater vi = (LayoutInflater)mContext.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE); convertView = vi.inflate(R.layout.sp_item_calendar, null); //convertView = LayoutInflater.from(mContext).inflate(R.layout.sp_item_calendar, null); LinearLayout llCalColor = (LinearLayout)convertView.findViewById(R.id.ll_calendar_color); TextView txtCalName = (TextView)convertView.findViewById(R.id.txt_calendar_name); TextView txtCalEmail = (TextView)convertView.findViewById(R.id.txt_calendar_email); llCalColor.setBackgroundColor(o.getCalColor()); txtCalName.setText(o.getCalName()); txtCalEmail.setText(o.getCalEmail()); return convertView; } }

Answer 1

 final PopupWindow popUp = new PopupWindow(mContext); 

check your context. Is it null?

Edit: add this to your counter if spinner appears in the dialog

 android:spinnerMode="dialog" 

If you create a spinner dynamically:

 Spinner spinner = new Spinner(context, Spinner.MODE_DIALOG); 

Answer 2

Pass Activity.this Instead of mContext in the PopupWindow constructor.

how

If Activity:

 PopupWindow popUp = new PopupWindow(ActivityName.this); 

If fragment:

 PopupWindow popUp = new PopupWindow(getActivity()); 

Edited by:

Now change the constructor from (Activity mcontext)

 Activity mContext; public ManagerPopUp(Activity mContext){ this.mContext = mContext; }
