Screenshots/Logs
Tried to access visual service WindowManager from a non-visual Context:com.example.app.App@fbbaf9c WindowManager should be accessed from Activity or other visual Context. Use an Activity or a Context created with Context#createWindowContext(int, Bundle), which are adjusted to the configuration and visual bounds of an area on screen.

Heyy @boskicaruso
Thanks for raising this. This seems to be a strict mode violation and was already detected in our internal audit.

As documented by android But don't feel compelled to fix everything that StrictMode finds here , this isn't extremely critical and hence we have added this to our roadmap
