WebViewCoreThread fatal exception about popoverview HOT 4 CLOSED

Ok, let me go trough it, and see what it is.

from popoverview.

thank u, I truly appreciate it, I've been debugging and noticed that the problem occurs when it reaches: group.addView(this, insertParams); in showPopoverFromRectInViewGroup function.
thought this would help to find the bug

from popoverview.

By the way I'm calling this function from inside the class of the webview that I created. cause if I wanted to call it from the activity, I have to make the function static which would add so many restrictions to my code, and I can't use "this", nor "getContext()" ...
In popoverView.showPopoverFromRectInViewGroup(this, viewRect, PopoverView.PopoverArrowDirectionAny, true);
"this" might be referring to the webview class, could it be the problem cause? and if it is how can I handle it and what should I put instead of "this"

Ok, I made a test, and I can load a Webview with an HTML string inside the popover just fine, from the main Activity

From what I can read, you are calling the showPopoverFromRectInViewGroup in a different thread than the main thread (in this case in the WebViewCoreThread).

As far as I know, the main rule for Android development is to call all the view methods (adding views, removing views, showPopoverFromRectInViewGroup) in the main thread, while processing, data downloading, etc... is done in background threads (like user-created Threads, or WebViewCoreThread in this case).

I don't know what your WebView class does, or when does it call showPopoverFromRectInViewGroup, but you should call this method in the main thread, since it's updating the views and the interface.
