This is the warning I'm getting:
03-02 14:38:43.980: W/InputEventReceiver(3961): Attempted to finish an input event but the input event receiver has already been disposed.
The menu I have was generated from a regular res/menu/activity_menu.xml file. I'm handling the events exactly as detailed on http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/menus.html#options-menu
When I click the vertical three dots to open the overflow menu and cancel out of it, I get that warning. There seems to be little knowledge of how to catch its trigger. Any ideas?
This is not related with your work.
Overflow menu is implemented by PopupWindow. When user touch to close PopupWindow, ACTION_DOWN event queued to app's Message queue. Then it is delivered to View through ViewPostImeInputStage class and finally ViewPostImeInputStage send this input event to PopupWindow's onTouchEvent listener.
@Override public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) { final int x = (int) event.getX(); final int y = (int) event.getY(); if ((event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN) && ((x = getWidth()) || (y = getHeight()))) { dismiss(); return true; } else if (event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_OUTSIDE) { dismiss(); return true; } else { return super.onTouchEvent(event); } }
dissmiss() try to close PopupWindow and PopupWindow::onDetachedWindow call WindowInputEventReceiver::dispose() first.
And then ViewPostImeInputStage call WindowInputEventReceiver::finishInputEvent to finish that ACTION_DOWN event. However WindowInputEventReceiver instance is already disposed so it throw warning messages.
You can debug it by breakpoint. open InputEventReceiver.java(need android source code at framework/base/) and set breakpoint at dispose method.
