Question

I am facing the problem while retrieving the contacts from the contact book in Android 8.0 Oreo java.lang.IllegalStateException: Only fullscreen opaque activities can request orientation

I am trying to get the contact in my activity from the phone contact book and it works perfect for Lollipop, Marshmallow, Nougat, etc but it will gives me the error for Oreo like this please help me. My code is here below.

Demo Code :-

private void loadContacts() {
            contactAsync = new ContactLoaderAsync();
            contactAsync.execute();
        }

        private class ContactLoaderAsync extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, Void> {
            private Cursor numCursor;

            @Override
            protected void onPreExecute() {
                super.onPreExecute();
                Uri numContacts = ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI;
                String[] numProjection = new String[]{ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTACT_ID, ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.DISPLAY_NAME, ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER, ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.TYPE};
                if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < 11) {
                    numCursor = InviteByContactActivity.this.managedQuery(numContacts, numProjection, null, null, ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.DISPLAY_NAME + " COLLATE NOCASE ASC");
                } else {
                    CursorLoader cursorLoader = new CursorLoader(InviteByContactActivity.this, numContacts, numProjection, null, null, ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.DISPLAY_NAME + " COLLATE NOCASE ASC");
                    numCursor = cursorLoader.loadInBackground();
                }

            }

            @Override
            protected Void doInBackground(Void... params) {
                if (numCursor.moveToFirst()) {
                    try {
                        final int contactIdIndex = numCursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTACT_ID);
                        final int displayNameIndex = numCursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.DISPLAY_NAME);
                        final int numberIndex = numCursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER);
                        final int typeIndex = numCursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.TYPE);
                        String displayName, number, type;
                        do {
                            displayName = numCursor.getString(displayNameIndex);
                            number = numCursor.getString(numberIndex);
                            type = getContactTypeString(numCursor.getString(typeIndex), true);
                            final ContactModel contact = new ContactModel(displayName, type, number);
                            phoneNumber = number.replaceAll(" ", "").replaceAll("\\(", "").replaceAll("\\)", "").replaceAll("-", "");

                            if (phoneNumber != null || displayName != null) {
                                contacts.add(phoneNumber);
                                contactsName.add(displayName);
                                contactsChecked.add(false);

                                filterdNames.add(phoneNumber);
                                filterdContactNames.add(displayName);
                                filterdCheckedNames.add(false);
                            }
                        } while (numCursor.moveToNext());
                    } finally {
                        numCursor.close();
                    }
                }


                Collections.sort(contacts, new Comparator<String>() {
                    @Override
                    public int compare(String lhs, String rhs) {
                        return lhs.compareToIgnoreCase(rhs);
                    }
                });

                InviteByContactActivity.this.runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
                    @Override
                    public void run() {
                        mContactAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
                    }
                });

                return null;
            }
        }

        private String getContactTypeString(String typeNum, boolean isPhone) {
            String type = PHONE_TYPES.get(typeNum);
            if (type == null)
                return "other";
            return type;
        }

        static HashMap<String, String> PHONE_TYPES = new HashMap<String, String>();

        static {
            PHONE_TYPES.put(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.TYPE_HOME + "", "home");
            PHONE_TYPES.put(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.TYPE_MOBILE + "", "mobile");
            PHONE_TYPES.put(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.TYPE_WORK + "", "work");
        }
}

Answer 1

The problem seems to be happening when your target sdk is 28. So after trying out many options finally this worked.

<activity
            android:name=".activities.FilterActivity"
            android:theme="@style/Transparent"
            android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden|adjustResize" />

style:-

<style name="Transparent" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
     <item name="android:windowIsTranslucent">true</item>
     <item name="android:windowBackground">@android:color/transparent</item>
     <item name="android:windowIsFloating">true</item>
     <item name="android:windowContentOverlay">@null</item>
     <item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>
     <item name="android:backgroundDimEnabled">false</item>
 </style>

Note:parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar" is needed for api 28. Previously had something else at api 26. Was working great but started to give problem at 28. Hope it helps someone out here. EDIT: For some only by setting <item name="android:windowIsTranslucent">false</item> and <item name="android:windowIsFloating">false</item> worked.May be depends upon the way you implement the solution works.In my case it worked by setting them to true.

Answer 2

this happened after 27,use targetSdkVersion 26 replace, wait for google fixed it

Answer 3

If you use a fullscreen transparent activity, there is no need to specify the orientation lock on the activity. It will take the configuration settings of the parent activity. So if the parent activity has in the manifest:

android:screenOrientation="portrait"

your translucent activity will have the same orientation lock: portrait.

Answer 4

The only solution that really works :

Change:

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

to:

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

in styles.xml

But this might induce a problem with your splashscreen (white screen at startup)... In this case, add the following line to your styles.xml:

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

just below the windowIsTranslucent line.

Last chance if the previous tips do not work : target SDK 26 instead o 27.

Answer 5

Google throws this exception on Activity's onCreate method after v27, their meaning is : if an Activity is translucent or floating, its orientation should be relied on parent(background) Activity, can't make decision on itself.

Even if you remove android:screenOrientation="portrait" from the floating or translucent Activity but fix orientation on its parent(background) Activity, it is still fixed by the parent, I have tested already.

One special situation : if you make translucent on a launcher Activity, it has't parent(background), so always rotate with device. Want to fix it, you have to take another way to replace <item name="android:windowIsTranslucent">true</item> style.

Answer 6

I can't agree to most rated answer, because

setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT);

causes an error

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Only fullscreen opaque activities can request orientation

but this makes it works for me

<style name="TranslucentTheme" parent="@style/Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
    <item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>
    <item name="android:windowActionBar">false</item>
    <item name="android:windowFullscreen">true</item>
    <item name="android:windowContentOverlay">@null</item>
</style>

and use it for your Activity, when you extends from

InterstitialActivity extends AppCompatActivity

in AndroidManifest.xml

    <activity
        android:name=".InterstitialActivity"
        ...
        android:screenOrientation="portrait"
        android:theme="@style/TranslucentTheme" />
