android.view.WindowManager$BadTokenException crashes

[mikeiomo]

Hi,

while using the plugin for my app I noticed many crashes from the play console, the error was always this:

android.view.WindowManager$BadTokenException
com.truckmovers.cordova.RemoteInjectionPlugin$UserPromptTask$1.run

details:

android.view.WindowManager$BadTokenException:

I am using CrossWalk as webview, could this be in any way related?

[bradleyjames]

I'm not sure but the plugin has issues on CrossWalk. According to this SO post this plugin is instantiating the dialog correctly.

[netmikey]

Same problem here.

@bradleyjames you seem to be correlating these type of crashes with the use of crosswalk, but isn't it weird then that crosswalk doesn't show up in the call stack?

[ekleop]

We don't use crosswalk(native webview) but have the same issue. So maybe it's not related to CrossWalk?

[fmp777]

We have the same issue too, no crosswalk. Quite a simple app really.

Crash by android version:

[fkoester]

Have the same error, also not using CrossWalk.

[chasefinch]

Same issue, no CrossWalk. Anyone find a solution?

[fmp777]

Still a serious issue, has anyone figured out how to reproduce?

I'm thinking it has something to do with "cannot contact site" error which likes to trigger the dialog which is the thing that seems to be crashing the app because android.app.Dialog.show is not working.

Which means maybe use of

and
error.html might work around the problem?

I think the only fix is to update this repository to use new Dialog code

[fmp777]

Its only happening when the timeout occurs during the http request to the remote site. difficult to simulate as disabling network drops directly to error.html in my case.

I dont know if its just that the Android Dialog is not getting created properly, but here is a plugin that does dialogs to get reference:
https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-dialogs/blob/master/src/android/Notification.java

@bradleyjames any chance on this one?

[zsoltboldizsar]

@fmp777 this issue has been fixed with #40 but it didn't end up in master on this repository.
I've added it to my fork https://github.com/zsoltboldizsar/cordova-plugin-remote-injection so anyone could directly benefit from it.

As for the fix itself, it was applied to an app I have worked on last year with +30k active users to day and there's no sign of this crash since. Hope it will help anyone coming here.
