App crashes with exception, this is the trace log I have found over Cras

Answer 1

Changed

<style name="AppTheme" parent="android:Theme.Translucent.NoTitleBar"></style>`

to

 <style name="AppTheme" parent="android:Theme.Holo.NoActionBar.TranslucentDecor"></style>

then remove

<item name="android:windowIsTranslucent">true</item>

Answer 2

In Android O and later this error happens when you set

 android:screenOrientation="portrait"

This code is written in the AndroidManifest file:

<activity
android:name="com.google.android.gms.ads.AdActivity"     android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenLayout|uiMode|screenSize|smallestScreenSize"
android:screenOrientation="portrait"
android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Translucent"></activity>

Remove this from manifest file

android:screenOrientation="portrait"

and add below code to activity in oncreate before setContentView :

 setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT);

This will fix illegalStateException issue/

Answer 3

When i removed this <item name="android:windowIsTranslucent">true</item> from style problem was solved.

Answer 4

From the latest fb integration guide, we don't need to specify either theme or orientation that is causing crash on android 8.0 . So we should use latest fb sdk with their new settings:

<activity android:name="com.facebook.FacebookActivity"
    android:configChanges=
            "keyboard|keyboardHidden|screenLayout|screenSize|orientation"
    android:label="@string/app_name" />

  <item name="android:windowIsTranslucent">true</item>

Answer 6

Removing this attribute:

android:screenOrientation="portrait"

from FacebookActivity tag, may solve the problem.
