Question

I uploaded an Android Application to the market, and, for some reason a user is getting this error.

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Window type can not be changed after the window is added.

I am pretty sure I never use WindowManager.LayoutParams.TYPE_KEYGUARD_DIALOG as referenced in other postings. I do however, have a window that switches between WindowManager.LayoutParams.TYPE_PHONE and WindowManager.LayoutParams.TYPE_SYSTEM_OVERLAY. Which seems like it could be the error. I would prefer not changing this as it would require me to have two windows instead of just one. Thanks in advance!

Was it helpful?

Solution

check AndroidManifest.xml

<uses-sdk  //************
            android:targetSdkVersion="X"/>

X must be less than 14 Or remove this attribute. good luck guy.
