Error in Fragment: “Already managing a GoogleApiClient with id 0”

Question

Everything works right the first time, if you launch a second time you see this error:

FATAL EXCEPTION: main
Process         


        

Answer 1

You should call stopAutoManage() in the onPause() method of your Fragment like so:

@Override
public void onPause() {
    super.onPause();

    mGoogleApiClient.stopAutoManage(getActivity());
    mGoogleApiClient.disconnect();
}

Answer 2

This works for me to avoid crashing issues using kotlin

private lateinit var googleApiClient: GoogleApiClient

And then just verify if the variable is already initialized

 if(!::googleApiClient.isInitialized) {
            googleApiClient = GoogleApiClient.Builder(context)
                    .enableAutoManage(activity, this)
                    .addApi(Auth.GOOGLE_SIGN_IN_API, options)
                    .build()
  }

Answer 3

To avoid further issue

@Override
public void onStop() {
    super.onStop();
    if (mGoogleApiClient != null && mGoogleApiClient.isConnected()) {
        mGoogleApiClient.stopAutoManage((Activity) context);
        mGoogleApiClient.disconnect();
    }
}

Answer 4

You should call stopAutoManage() in the onDestroy() method of your fragment like so:

     @Override
        public void onDestroy() {
             super.onDestroy();
             mGoogleApiClient.stopAutoManage(getActivity());
             mGoogleApiClient.disconnect();
          }
