PopupWindow $BadTokenException: Unable to add window — token null is not valid

Question

I have the following error when showing a PopupWindow. The errors are triggered by the line:

checkInPopup.showAtLocation((ViewGroup) mapView.getParent(), Gra         


        

Answer 1

There are two scenarios when this exception could occur. One is mentioned by nandeesh. Other scenario is mentioned here: http://blackriver.to/2012/08/android-annoying-exception-unable-to-add-window-is-your-activity-running/

Make sure you handle both of them
