Xamarin.Forms.Android：java.lang.IllegalStateException：片段没有视图

Question

I'm developing a Xamarin.Forms app. It works well, but keeps on crashing when the user brings it back from background after opening a few other apps. I'm new to Xamarin and I'm not sure how to debug this issue. This issue is not happening on iOS so far.

SplashActivity.cs:

using System.Threading.Tasks;
using Android.App;
using Android.Content;
using Android.OS;
using Android.Support.V7.App;
using Android.Util;

namespace MyApp.Droid
{
    [Activity(Theme = "@style/MyTheme.Splash", MainLauncher = true, NoHistory = true)]
    public class SplashActivity : AppCompatActivity
    {
        static readonly string TAG = "X:" + typeof(SplashActivity).Name;

        protected override void OnCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) //  PersistableBundle persistentState
        {
            base.OnCreate(savedInstanceState); // persistentState
            Log.Debug(TAG, "SplashActivity.OnCreate");
        }

        protected override void OnResume()
        {
            base.OnResume();

            Task startupWork = new Task(() =>
                                        {
                                            Log.Debug(TAG, "Performing some startup work that takes a bit of time.");
                                            Task.Delay(5000); // Simulate a bit of startup work.
                                            Log.Debug(TAG, "Working in the background - important stuff.");
                                        });

            startupWork.ContinueWith(t =>
                                     {
                                         Log.Debug(TAG, "Work is finished - start Activity1.");
                                         StartActivity(new Intent(Application.Context, typeof(MainActivity)));
                                     }, TaskScheduler.FromCurrentSynchronizationContext());

            startupWork.Start();
        }
    }
}

MainActivity.cs:

using System;

using Android.App;
using Android.Content;
using Android.Content.PM;
using Android.Runtime;
using Android.Views;
using Android.Widget;
using Android.OS;

using HockeyApp.Android;
using HockeyApp.Android.Metrics;

using Xamarin.Android.Net; // Keep to make TLS 1.2 work

namespace MyApp.Droid
{
    [Activity(Label = "EventingVolunteers.Droid", Icon = "@drawable/icon", Theme = "@style/MyTheme", ConfigurationChanges = ConfigChanges.ScreenSize | ConfigChanges.Orientation)]
    public class MainActivity : global::Xamarin.Forms.Platform.Android.FormsAppCompatActivity
    {
        protected override void OnCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
        {
            TabLayoutResource = Resource.Layout.Tabbar;
            ToolbarResource = Resource.Layout.Toolbar;

            base.OnCreate(savedInstanceState);

            global::Xamarin.Forms.Forms.Init(this, savedInstanceState);

            LoadApplication(new App());

            // HockeyApp
            CrashManager.Register(this, Constants.HockeyAppID_Android);
            MetricsManager.Register(this, Application, Constants.HockeyAppID_Android);

            // Push Notifications
            RegisterForGCM();
        }

        private void RegisterForGCM()
        {
            string senders = Constants.GoogleConsoleProjectId;
            Intent intent = new Intent("com.google.android.c2dm.intent.REGISTER");
            intent.SetPackage("com.google.android.gsf");
            intent.PutExtra("app", PendingIntent.GetBroadcast(this, 0, new Intent(), 0));
            intent.PutExtra("sender", senders);
            StartService(intent);
        }

        protected override void OnPause()
        {
            base.OnPause();
        }

        protected override void OnResume()
        {
            base.OnResume();
        }

        protected override void OnDestroy()
        {
            base.OnDestroy();
        }
    }
}

Answer 1

I had simular problem. I created app(Android) with Xamarin Forms 2.3.1.114. I use Master-Detail page. After restore app I get this error:

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Fragment does not have a view

I tryed Xamarin Forms 2.3.2.118-pre1. It is fixed this bug(42075), but add new bugs(it is pre package). I installed Xamarin Forms 2.3.0.107(downgrade). It is work for me. Hope this help for you.

Answer 2

Adding nuget package AndroidX.Fragment version "1.2.5.4" worked for me. Able to reproduce only if i select developer options -> Don't keep activities

Answer 3

This question is over 5 years old but this continues to be a problem in 2022 with Xamarin.Forms 5.x in a slightly different setup

I've got this happening quite a lot in a production app that was recently pushed to store. Replicating this issue manually in the real world is quite difficult from but sending the app to the background and executing:

adb shell "am kill <package-name>"

...and then tapping on the app from the launcher would immediately cause this crash.

My app references Xamarin.AndroidX.Biometric version 1.1.0.6 (the most latest as of March 2022) and this pulls in Xamarin.AndroidX.Fragment version 1.3.6.3 and Xamarin.AndroidX.Activity 1.3.1.2 as transitive dependencies.

Downgrading these 2 nugets by manually installing Xamarin.AndroidX.Fragment version 1.2.54 and Xamarin.AndroidX.Activity 1.2.2 resolves this according to comments on open issue: https://github.com/xamarin/Xamarin.Forms/issues/14193 .

The 'solution' is far from ideal so watch the linked github issue for more updates in the future.

Hope this helps someone having a similar setup
