Android Create View Crash

I'm trying to add Layout with this code:
LayoutInflater layoutInflater = (LayoutInflater) activity.getSystemService(LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
mYouTubePlayerLayout = (ConstraintLayoutKeyDispatchWrapper) layoutInflater.inflate(R.layout.background_player_layout, null, false);
mYouTubePlayerLayout.setOnDispatchKeyEventListener(this);
mWindowManager = (WindowManager) activity.getSystemService(WINDOW_SERVICE);
createWindowParams(true);
mWindowManager.addView(mYouTubePlayerLayout, mWindowParams);
I understand that I need to get permissions from the user for 23 version and above, so I'm asking the user for the permission with this code:
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 23 && !Settings.canDrawOverlays(this)) {
isAppPlayStorePermission = true;
AlertDialog.Builder dialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(activity);
dialog.setCancelable(false);
dialog.setIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher);
dialog.setTitle(R.string.dialog_need_playstore_permissions_title);
dialog.setMessage(R.string.dialog_need_playstore_permissions_description);
dialog.setPositiveButton(R.string.button_exit, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
dialog.dismiss();
AndroidUtils.exitApp(activity);
}
});
dialog.setNegativeButton(R.string.button_settings, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
dialog.dismiss();
Intent intent = new Intent(Settings.ACTION_MANAGE_OVERLAY_PERMISSION, Uri.parse("package:" + getPackageName()));
startActivityForResult(intent, 0);
}
});
dialog.show();
}
but now I'm getting a crash from Fabric:
Fatal Exception: java.lang.RuntimeException
Unable to create service ***: android.view.WindowManager$BadTokenException: Unable to add window android.view.ViewRootImpl$W#c7450fc -- permission denied for this window type
The crash is only for users with Android OS of 7 and below.
Any idea what is the problem?

and this line cause errors :

Add Current ActivityName.this instead of this.
AlertDialog.Builder dialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(YourCurrentActivityName.this);

Broadcastreceiver cannot receive when activity not opened

I have a notepad activity that opens up a window dialog version of it where user can go to another app and still type on the notepad
For both notepad to have the same content, I used broadcastReceiver to set the text of the notepad activity to the one in the dialog when the user is done.
Activity's BroadcastReceiver:
private BroadcastReceiver broadcastReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver() {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
final globalVariable globalVariable = (globalVariable) getApplicationContext();
et_editor.setText(globalVariable.getScriptEditorText());
Toast.makeText(Script_editor.this, "Script Editor have been updated", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
};
Close Button of the Dialog:
btn_Close = (Button) view.findViewById(R.id.button_Close);
btn_Close.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
AlertDialog alertDialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(getApplicationContext())
.setTitle("Would you like to update the editor?")
.setNegativeButton("No, discard the changes", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
Toast.makeText(ColorCoordinatePickerService.this, "Changes have been discarded", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
dialog.dismiss();
stopSelf();
}
})
.setPositiveButton("Yes, update with changes", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
final globalVariable globalVariable = (globalVariable) getApplicationContext();
globalVariable.setScriptEditortext(CCEditor.getText().toString());
Intent intent = new Intent(BROADCAST_ACTION);
sendBroadcast(intent);
dialog.dismiss();
stopSelf();
}
})
.create();
alertDialog.getWindow().setType(WindowManager.LayoutParams.TYPE_SYSTEM_ALERT);
alertDialog.show();
}
});
It works BUT the user have to go back to the notepad activity (cannot be in another app or activity).
How do I update the notepad's content without having to "open" it up?

Queue the changes in BroadcastReceiver and when NotepadActivity resumes set the changes in the EditText. The queue doesn't need to be an actual queue, you can persist the last broadcast receiver data somewhere.

I am not sure, but it may be clear your global variable on moving from activity to another activity, also you are declaring the instance of global variable so it will set value in instance not in main variable and therefor you will not get it on receiver.
So I think you should set value in intent and then get it on receiver and manage it so it will work.
Check below, first your click event of dialog box method
#Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
final globalVariable globalVariable = (globalVariable) getApplicationContext();
globalVariable.setScriptEditortext(CCEditor.getText().toString());
Intent intent = new Intent(BROADCAST_ACTION);
intent.putExtra("global_variable","" + CCEditor.getText().toString());
sendBroadcast(intent);
dialog.dismiss();
stopSelf();
}
And now get value in receiver as like below.
private BroadcastReceiver broadcastReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver() {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
final globalVariable globalVariable = (globalVariable) getApplicationContext();
String strData = intent.getExtras().getString("global_variable");
et_editor.setText(strData);
Toast.makeText(Script_editor.this, "Script Editor have been updated", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
};
Hope this will work

without opening acitivity,you want to update data then only one way you can do it.when you receive in receiver set all data into sharepreference.Whenever your notepad activity opens you can set take data from sharepreference and set it into notepad activity.

Use LocalBroadcastManager.

Android App crashes on Lollipop

hi I am using google license checker on my app it works on API 19 and below but crashes on lollipop. I saw the code that has to be add to my license check code but I don't know where to put this code or what should I edit. here is my code

and here is the other code which I got that this can solve my problem. but don't know where to put it.
Intent serviceIntent = new Intent(
new String(Base64.decode("Y29tLmFuZHJvaWQudmVuZGluZy5saWNlbnNpbmcuSUxpY2Vuc2luZ1NlcnZpY2U=")));
serviceIntent.setPackage("com.android.vending");
boolean bindResult = mContext
.bindService(
serviceIntent,
this, // ServiceConnection.
Context.BIND_AUTO_CREATE);

Waiting for an official solution, the current solution consists in patching Google's LicenseChecker class
com.google.android.vending.licensing.LicenseChecker.checkAccess(LicenseChecker.java:150)
like this:
new String(
- Base64.decode("Y29tLmFuZHJvaWQudmVuZGluZy5saWNlbnNpbmcuSUxpY2Vuc2luZ1NlcnZpY2U="))),
+ Base64.decode("Y29tLmFuZHJvaWQudmVuZGluZy5saWNlbnNpbmcuSUxpY2Vuc2luZ1NlcnZpY2U=")))
+ .setPackage("com.android.vending"), // this fix the 'IllegalArgumentException: Service Intent must be explicit'
this, // ServiceConnection.
Adding package name with statement setPackage("com.android.vending") makes the Intent explicit, i.e., 'safe' (as requested by Android Lollipop )
Note:
Please pay attention as after modifying LicenseChecker class you must change the min sdk version from 3 to 4 (thanks russellhoff)

Launch the browser from an activity and then exit the application, leaving the browser open

First!
Ok, so am working on a app "update system" for an application that is not hosted on the store. What I would like to do is launch the browser from an activity and then exit the application, leaving the browser open. Can this be done, and if so can you point me in the right direction?
Edit:
I dont know if this changes anything put I wish to do so from an AlertDialog.

This is how you launch a browser:
Intent browserIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("http://www.somewebsite.com"));
startActivity(browserIntent);
And this is how you finish your activity:
finish();
Finishing an activity is not the same as quitting your whole application, because there could be many activities in the stack. However, you can (and you should) leave this task to the system - your app's process will be killed automatically when there is not enough resources available.
For reference: Quitting an application - is that frowned upon?
Edit: sample with AlertDialog:
AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
builder.setMessage("Launch a website?");
builder.setPositiveButton(getString(R.string.yes),
new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
Intent browserIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW,
Uri.parse("http://www.somewebsite.com"));
startActivity(browserIntent);
finish();
}
}
);
builder.setNegativeButton(getString(R.string.no),
new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
//some other thing to do
}
}
);
AlertDialog dialog = builder.create();
dialog.show();

You need to create a new intent to open the browser on your device and finish the current activity after you have launched the new intent.
Intent browserIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
browserIntent.setData(Uri.parse("http://www.google.com"));
startActivity(browserIntent);
finish();
