Could not lock surface

I added an ActionBar to my app and now I am consistently running into this issue.

I am testing on a Galaxy S4. This issue causing the app to slow down and become unresponsive.

here is my code:

//Get action bar
actionBar = getActionBar();

//hide title to make room for spinner dropdown
actionBar.setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(false);

//set the mode
actionBar.setNavigationMode(ActionBar.NAVIGATION_MODE_LIST);
//spinner = (Spinner)findViewById(R.id.spinner);
quotetext = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.quote);       

ArrayList<SpinnerItem> values = SpinnerProducer.create();
//Set spinner adapter   
spinnerAdapter = new QuoteSpinnerAdapter(thisActivity,R.layout.spinner_row_layout,values);

actionBar.setListNavigationCallbacks(spinnerAdapter, new CustomOnItemSelectedListener());
actionBar.setSelectedNavigationItem(1);
