I am facing a very annoying situation. I am trying display an alert dialog with DatePicker and TimePicker. It works on every device except some Samsung Devices (And according to the crash reports I received, all of them are Android Version 6.0.1).

Here is the crash report:

Here is my code:

            dbHelper.updateItem(item_name, newItemCount);
            dbHelper.createTransaction(transaction_type, item_name, integerItems, dateTime);
            if (transaction_type.equals("add"))
            {
                Toast.makeText(MyApp.getContext(), getString(R.string.transaction_adding) + " " + item_name.trim() + " " + getString(R.string.succeeded) + "!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            }
            else

            }
            item_count.setText("");
            textBox_count.setText(newItemCount + "");
            dialog.cancel();
        }
    });
    dialog.setNegativeButton(getString(R.string.cancel), new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id)
                {
                    // User cancelled the dialog
                    dialog.dismiss();
                }
    });
    AlertDialog dialog_created = dialog.create();
    if (!this.isFinishing())
    {
        dialog_created.show();
    }
}

And here is the layout I am trying to inflate:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/linearLayout1"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:orientation="vertical" >

    <ankit.inventory.ankitarora.inventorymanagementsimple.CustomDatePicker
        android:id="@+id/datePicker"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:scrollbars="vertical"
        android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Holo.Light" >
    </ankit.inventory.ankitarora.inventorymanagementsimple.CustomDatePicker>

    <TimePicker
        android:id="@+id/timePicker"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_below="@+id/datePicker"
        android:scrollbars="vertical"
        android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Holo.Light" >
    </TimePicker>

</RelativeLayout>

Please Help!

PS: I received this crash report using ACRA crash reporting system in my app.

Looks like OS problem, according to this you can MAYBE mitigate it by using stub-view, and inflate TimePicker view either programmatically or from other layout, set it correct LayoutParams object, and try to inject such inflated view to original layout to replace the stub (can't think of anything simpler at the moment, nor have I any idea whether this will really fix it). – Cavorelievo
Hi .. What I have done for the workaround is that, I am inflating another layout in a catch statement, and putting the above inflate part in a try block. So, for now, I am putting a default time of 12:00:00 and not allowing the user to select time for transaction. I will try the suggestions given here.. – Comanche
Did you keep this workaround or did you find another solution? – Calicle
I kept this workaround. Did not find any other solution yet. – Comanche

Strangely, I started seeing this crash only recently. My attempted workaround is to subclass TimePicker and catch the crash. Unfortunately I do not have access to any of the affected devices (Galaxy J1, Galaxy J3, Galaxy On7 Pro, Galaxy A7) for validating this approach.

class TimePicker(context: Context, attrs: AttributeSet?) : android.widget.TimePicker(context, attrs) {
    override fun onRtlPropertiesChanged(layoutDirection: Int) {
        try {
            super.onRtlPropertiesChanged(layoutDirection)
        } catch (e: Exception) {
            Timber.e(e)
        }
    }
}
