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

I was getting this error when I try to capture image or take image from gallery what works for me is to remove both

 setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT);

and

android:screenOrientation="portrait"

now my activity is using this theme:

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

Answer 2

I used android:screenOrientation="behind" instead of android:screenOrientation="portrait". Basically, you created a dialog (in an activity) and dialog can't request orientation by itself it needs parent activity to do this (because a parent is visible in the background and has own layout).

"behind" The same orientation as the activity that's immediately beneath it in the activity stack.

Answer 3

If you have to use setRequestedOrientation(), there is no way but sacrifice the windowIsTranslucent attribute on Android 8.0

values\styles.xml for api level 25- (<8.0)

<style name="Base.Theme.DesignDemo" parent="Base.Theme.AppCompat.Light">
        ...
        <item name="android:windowIsTranslucent">true</item>
        ...
    </style>

values-v26\styles.xml for api level 26 (=8.0)

<style name="Base.Theme.DesignDemo" parent="Base.Theme.AppCompat.Light">
    ...
    <!-- android 8.0(api26)，Only fullscreen opaque activities can request orientation -->
    <item name="android:windowIsTranslucent">false</item>
    ...
</style>

values-v27\styles.xml for api level 27+ (>8.0)

<style name="Base.Theme.DesignDemo" parent="Base.Theme.AppCompat.Light">
    ...
    <item name="android:windowIsTranslucent">true</item>
    ...
</style>

Answer 4

I had the same problem, and my solution was to eliminate the line

android:screenOrientation="portrait"

and then add this in the activity:

if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < Build.VERSION_CODES.O) {
    setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT);
}

Answer 5

I've just removed the tags "portrait" from the non full-screen elements and everything went fine.

android:screenOrientation="portrait"

Answer 6

Please check the style of your Activity and make sure if you are not using any Translucent related things, change the style to alternate. So that we can fix this problem.

android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Translucent.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen"
android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen"
