java.lang.IllegalStateException: Only fullscreen opaque activities can request orientation

Question

I am facing the problem while retrieving the contacts from the contact book in Android 8.0 Oreo java.lang.IllegalStateException: Only fullscreen opaque activities can reques

Answer 1

it seems when target sdk is pie (api level 28.0) and windowIsTranslucent is true

true

and you try to access orientation. problem comes with android oreo 8.0 (api level 26) there are two ways to solve this

1. remove the orientation
2. or set windowIsTranslucent to false

if you are setting orientation in manifest like this

android:screenOrientation="portrait"

or in activity class like this

 setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT);

remove form both places.

and observed when u set windowIsTranslucent to true, it takes orientation from parent activity.
