Another developer use case  If the WindowManager or getWindow   is being called on onCreate   or onStart   or onResume    a BadTokenException is thrown  You will need to wait until the view is prepared and attached   Moving the code to onAttachedToWindow   solves it  It may not be a permanent solution  but as much as I could test  it always worked   In my case  there was a need to increase the screen brightness when the activity became visible  The line getWindow   getAttributes   screenBrightness in the onResume   resulted in an exception  Moving the code to onAttachedToWindow   worked

In my case the issue is occurred because of am trying to open show dialog box in onPostExecute AsyncTask However its an wrong method of showing dialog or Ui changes in onPostExecute  For that  we need to check the activity is in active Eg    isFinishing     if the activity is not finished then only able to show our dialog box or ui change     Override protected void onPostExecute String response str        getActivity   runOnUiThread new Runnable                      Override                 public void run                         if     Activity  mContext  isFinishing                              try                               ShowAgilDialog                              catch  WindowManager BadTokenException e                                Log e  WindowManagerBad    e toString

one simple workaround is to catch the exception     try           alertDialog show         catch  WindowManager BadTokenException e              use a log message         It s not elegant but sometimes easy when you have to manage async operations and you are not sure wether activity is up or not when you want to show the dialog

Under dependencyServices nothing of the above helped me  i ended up doing like below       class Static Toast Android               private static Context  context                       get   return Android App Application Context                      public static void StaticDisplayToast string message                        Toast MakeText  context  message  ToastLength Long  Show                        public class Toast Android   IToast                public void DisplayToast string message                        Static Toast Android StaticDisplayToast message                     I must use the  double-class  because an interface cannot be static  L-

This can occur when you are showing the dialog for a context that no longer exists  A common case - if the  show dialog  operation is after an asynchronous operation  and during that operation the original activity  that is to be the parent of your dialog  is destroyed  For a good description  see this blog post and comments   http   dimitar me android-displaying-dialogs-from-background-threads   From the stack trace above  it appears that the facebook library spins off the auth operation asynchronously  and you have a Handler - Callback mechanism  onComplete called on a listener  that could easily create this scenario   When I ve seen this reported in my app  its pretty rare and matches the experience in the blog post  Something went wrong for the activity it was destroyed during the work of the the AsyncTask  I don t know how your modification could result in this every time  but perhaps you are referencing an Activity as the context for the dialog that is always destroyed by the time your code executes   Also  while I m not sure if this is the best way to tell if your activity is running  see this answer for one method of doing so   Check whether activity is active

I solved it by putting this    Override protected void onDestroy         accessTokenTracker stopTracking        super onDestroy

I faced exactly the same issue  Calling    isFinishing     prevented the crash  but it could not display the  alert  message   Then I tried making calling function  static   where alert is displayed  After that  no crash happened and message is also getting displayed   For ex   public static void connect failure                   Log i FW UPD APP   Connect failed             new AlertDialog Builder MyActivity           setTitle  Title            setMessage  Message            setPositiveButton android R string yes  new DialogInterface OnClickListener                 public void onClick DialogInterface dialog  int which                         do nothing                                    setIcon R drawable the image  show

I was seeing this error reported once in a while from some of my apps  and here s what solved it for me   if    Activity  context  isFinishing            show dialog     All the other answers out there seem to be doing weird things like iterating through the list of running activities  but this is much simpler and seems to do the trick

For me it was fixed by just removing the static property in the DialogHelper class methods  resposble for creating  amp  hiding the dialog   as I have properties related to Window in those methods

Unable to add window -- token is not valid  is your activity running   This crash is usually caused by your app trying to display a dialog using a previously-finished Activity as a context  For example  this can happen if an Activity triggers an AsyncTask that tries to display a dialog when it is finished  but the user navigates back from the Activity before the task is completed   External resources  Android     Displaying Dialogs From Background Threads  Error   BinderProxy 45d459c0 is not valid  is your activity running
