Can you please address comment#2?
Unfortunately the issue would be closed within 7 days if there is no further update.

Attached is a sample project that demonstrates the issue in two ways:
- when long pressing text (e.g. the headline)
- when opening a select
Both will ultimately load an alert dialog with a list adapter that has the layout ids for the content set to 0.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Fe2ym2F0o4XWEDHvKY8-UzpvSJq4wbWq/view?usp=drive_web (WebViewAppCompatBug.zip)

This is reproducible on an API 21 emulator (Nexus 5 configuration, no Chrome installed).

NB There is a second issue when loading the web view in the first place which in this sample project is worked around by using a resource wrapper. This is already reported under https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/140884278 and the attached project will also display this error when commenting out lines 13-15 in MainActivity.kt.

Please take a look at this issue and provide your inputs.

Wrapping Resources is not supported by the framework and you must not create your own instances of Resources at all (the APIs to do so are now marked deprecated after they were accidentally exposed).

We can't do anything to fix this - you need to solve the underlying problem with appcompat and stop wrapping it like this, and then resources will work.

While I agree this is WontFIx from WebView's perspective (the WebView APK in question already shipped), it seems like this should still be considered a regression from appcompat's perspective, given the community can no longer test on lower-level emulators. We've received several unique user reports of this issue, not to mention the internal reports which led to filing issue 139710458.

Surprisingly, issue 142086375 claims this bug repros on Marshmallow, which is something we haven't observed so far and doesn't fit into the current hypothesis:

> in Android 6.0 (API 23) it crashes on tapping the <select> element.

From issue 141132133:

> This change is the root cause: https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/support/+/26079d87c79a64829f036236353fac1dae4e0613%5E%21/#F2
>
> sAlwaysOverrideConfiguration forces updating the Resources configuration and therby messing up the webview inflation on older devices.

Chis, any chance this checks out? I didn't look too closely into this, so I'm not sure if there are consequences to not overriding the configuration on L-M only, or perhaps further limited old WebView versions only.

Same problem appear simply by using a WebView on Android 5 / 5.1 (on actual devices, no emulator) with appcompat:1.1.0 directly causing a crash (on display, no interaction needed).

Dropping the priority of this, since there's no feasible fix for this.

So, a bug that was laser-focused and easily reproduced by simply including a WebView in an Activity crashing on Android 5 / 5.1 devices with appcompat-1.1.0 but not appcompat-1.1.0-rc01 was marked as duplicate of this, and somehow despite knowing the commit that caused it and being able to reproduce it, and not crashing from Android 5 until that commit it is not feasible to fix. Seems odd to me given the commit seemed to enable a feature, meaning that the choice is crash or have a feature (which you can't use because you crashed). Wouldn't it be better to just not support that feature fully vs crash? Just a thought

We got this crash on a Samsung Nexus 10 with Android 5.1.1 at 100% on any WebView

Can this be changed back to p2 priority? Phrase "no feasible fix" is not enouth to ignore application crash and make this less importaint

I'm not sure if you can see the duplicate of this ticket. We have lots of tickets which have different causes of the WebView crashes are marked as duplicate with no clarification.

Here is one of them.
https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/141436946

It will be great if you can take some time to revisit duplicate tickets. I believe a lot of developer are looking for the fix or workaround.

Thank you!

Hi, i have same issue in android 22 and 23. Any update?

+1, I'm getting the same issue

I've tried downgrading like you suggested, and it's working for Android 23 but not 22, and the error message changes to:

Hope it gets fixed.

Hi given there are quite a few issues with higher priority/severity marked as dup of this issue, can someone bump up the priority/severity of this issue?

Add a trivial repro case

This is a project created by New Android Project -> Blank Activity -> Add WebView to layout/main_activity.xml, run on API21 emulator and it crashes with the following trace

changing appcompat library version to 1.1.0-rc01, the app launches with an empty webview without crashing.

The issue is a bug in old versions of WebView (most of which are installed in API 21-22ish), which AppCompat doesn't have any control over. The background is that those versions of WebView seem to crash if an app uses ContextThemeWrapper.applyOverrideConfiguration(), which AppCompat now uses quite heavily (as of v1.1.0-alpha03), especially for DayNight. The commit linked from #7 is actually a symptom rather than the cause. That commit just makes AppCompat use applyOverrideConfiguration() in more places, which then triggers the WebView issue. The same thing would happen if the app uses applyOverrideConfiguration() themselves, so reverting all of the changes in AppCompat would just cause more problems than it fixes.

Anyway, I've found a workaround which I *think* works, at least the tests are now all passing on API 21/22. Apologies for the delay in reaching this. It unfortunately wasn't an easy bug to find a workaround for.

Pending CL: https://android-review.googlesource.com/c/platform/frameworks/support/+/1177665

I tracked this issue into WebView and ContextThemeWrapper a bit as well when I encountered this problem. It seemed to me to be more of a applyOverrideConfiguration bug than a WebView bug. I noticed that after calling applyOverrideConfiguration, `Context.getAssets()` and `Context.getResources().getAssets()` are not returning the same AssetManager object. The AssetManager returned from `Context.getAssets()` can't access resources in other packages (including the system WebView package), causing WebView to crash. If I override `Context.getAssets()` to return `getResources().getAssets()`, the problem is gone.
Besides, `Context.getAssets()` and `Context.getResources().getAssets()` are returning the same object on latest versions of Android in the same condition. I found that `ContextImpl.getAssets()` is returning `getResources().getAssets()` in the latest source code.

#24: Good detective work! Yeah, the CL I listed above moves us to using createConfigurationContext(), which seems to be better supported on earlier versions of Android, so hopefully this issue disappears once the CL is in.

commit 0850be80d556fc23a6f39a094c923665c24e3de2
Author: Chris Banes <chrisbanes@google.com>
Date:   Thu Nov 28 16:39:07 2019

    DayNight rewrite v2.5
   
    We've now moved to using createConfigurationContext(),
    instead of applyOverrideConfiguration(). Certain older versions
    of WebView have an issue when an app uses
    applyOverrideConfiguration(), but they seem to work fine
    using createConfigurationContext() /shruggie.
   
    To use createConfigurationContext(), I've had to refactor a
    lot of updateNightMode() code to also have another entry
    point which returns a Context for attachBaseContext().

Thanks for your time and for resolving this bug that was driving all of us crazy! We'll wait anxiously for v1.2.0-alpha02

Thank you so much for resolving this! Will this ever be back ported to 1.1.*?

Came from this issues https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/141132133 and https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/141351441 and tried the 1.2.0-SNAPSHOT and we are still getting the android.content.res.Resources$NotFoundException: String resource ID #0x2040003 exception, any news on this particular exception?

#32: Can confirm, the newer snapshot fixes the problem. Thank you

I also really appreciate the effort to fix this, thank you.

I know there are lots of people getting mail on each comment, apologies, but I wanted to confirm that the fix will still be landing in 1.2.0-alpha02? I'll be ready to test it but don't waste the time if the last couple comments mean it will be in the release after alpha02 now

Thanks!

Can we get an idea of when you'll release this modfication for everyone? Thanks for the work you are doing so far

#35
`1.2.0-alpha02` still not release in google maven. When you'll release this modification for everyone?

Has anyone who has implemented the working snapshot code experienced any performance/crash issues on other Android versions? We have this issue on a new app with no appreciable user base, so if we make a change we won't really know if we are making this better or worse for the whole of the installed base we're seeking.

The desire to let this change "soak" because it is a major implementation change suggests that I am probably better with "the devil I know," and should stay with the alpha01 release, particularly since it is only an issue on Android 5 and only triggered by a particular activity that is not routinely performed by most users.

Thoughts?

'only' 3 API versions and 12 issue duplicates (it crashes A LOT more than title suggests)

Wondering if someone from appcompat developement team can provide any estimated time of accomplishment for this long lasting issue?

This is causing quite significant issues for us on our app too so it would be great for an update on this ^^

we also suffer from this version please help

What is blocking 1.2.0-alpha02 getting released to public? I verified that 1.2.0-SNAPSHOT does not crash the WebView, but if you are not confident to release it then it does not fill me with confidence to put it inside production app. Is there another known issue that needs to be fixed before? If so, can we get a link so we can watch it? If not, then I would urge for this to be released as soon as possible. It is hard enough to convince people to add alpha (or even beta) versions of libraries.

Thanks for any info.

many thanks, the problem has been solved in AppCompat 1.2.0-alpha02

I got a method to fix this issue, you need create a WebView in Application onCreate() method, and then all assets which WebView needed will be loaded
"ApkAssets{path=/product/app/WebViewGoogle/WebViewGoogle.apk}"
"ApkAssets{path=/product/app/TrichromeLibrary/TrichromeLibrary.apk}"

I am having this issue on SDK 34 and appcompat 1.7.0, I am not using any of my resources in my webview activity.

Any ETA on this?  Or which components we should watch for updates?  Is the the build tools 2x.0.y?  Is it a new multidex support lib 1.0.3?  3.1 plugin?

Sorry, we don't commit to timelines on public bugs.

All the changes needed are submitted to the four components (build tools, MultidexTestRunner, AndroidJunitRunner and android gradle plugin) and we'll update this bug as soon as it is released, so it will be in Android Gradle Plugin 3.1.

Note that both the deprecated MultiDexTestRunner and the replacement AndroidJUnitRunner will support legacy multidex test APKs

Could you consider releasing the fix under 3.0.x (if that's even possible)?
Doing it in 3.1 will require everyone who wants to have multidex for test APK working to start using unstable version of AS and AGP.

Please update documentation to reflect that legacy multidex IS supported, except broken by this bug (known issue) in AGP 3.0.

https://developer.android.com/studio/build/multidex.html#testing

> `Using multidex to create a test APK is not currently supported.`

This is fixed starting with 3.1.0-alpha04. Please try it out, and let us know if you are facing any issues. Thanks!

Is it not "MultiDex.installInstrumentation(getContext(), getTargetContext());" in the AndroidJUnitRunner?

3.1.0-alpha04 worked for me.  Thanks for the fix.

I just trying with 3.1.0-alpha06 and the problem seams to still be there =/

This isn't working for me either with 3.1.0-alpha06. Can you clarify what was fixed, and what combination of Gradle, Android Gradle Plugin, Multidex library and Android Build Tools we should test against?

Folks, any news in this issue? Could you explain how to make this work? Simply using AGP 3.1.0-alpha04 doesn't solve the problem

Never mind. It does solve the problem

Re #70:
You need to use Android plugin for Gradle 3.1.0-alpha04+, any compatible version of Gradle (e.g. 4.4) and BuildTools (e.g. 27.0.3). Multidex library 1.0.2 will be added by the plugin as a dependency automatically. With this, your build will be successful.

To run tests successfully, the test runner needs to support legacy test APK. AndroidJUnitRunner supports that, so you can use that.

Looks much better but I still get an issue with multiDexKeepProguard file, it somehow feels it is not respected which classes should be added to the main dex file.
For example following your suggestion of tl;dr version the test crashes because some files are not found in the main dex file during the app start:

Do you have any idea where does this pops out from?

Re #74:
This seems to be Java 8 specific bug, and I've filled https://issuetracker.google.com/71737186 to track this. Can we please continue discussion there?

We would love to use this fix, but we need a stable version of the gradle android plugin. When  will Gradle Android Plugin  3.1.0 be released ?

"Please " help me i want update oreo 8.0 without computer

The release note for 3.1.0 doesn't mention this issue, is it fixed ?

We are trying it and it looks like it's not working (though it used to be working in alpha04)

There is a bug of a new kind in 3.1 + related to instrumented APKs & multidex

Until recently we had a big module, with all our code + all our instrurmentation tests code. Then we could check and the plugin (3.1.alpha and 3.1) work well to enable multidex in tests apks.
But we recently dissociated this big module: one contains the production code, the other one contains the instrumentation code. And then, the new plugin breaks: we can still a multidex production app, but the instrumentation test apk is not generated. We hit the 65K limit and the build reports this as an issue. Also, the android test don't have a task: transformClassesWithMultidexlistFor<variant>AndroidTest

What can go wrong ?

To be more precise: we have one module named module_apk that contains:
* a few classes in production code
* quite a lot of classes of instrumentation tests

The module_apk wires together all other modules that are all library modules.

When adding multidexEnabled to module_apk, the production apk is multidexed, but not the test apk. There is no transform / task for the AndroidTest variant related to multidex.
When adding multidexEnabled to all default configuration of all modules, all of them have both instrumentation and production multidex tasks & transformations, all except module_apk...

We have no idea what is going wrong.

Re #81:
I've filled https://issuetracker.google.com/77183226, let's please continue discussion there. Thanks.

What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':app:transformClassesWithMultidexlistForLive'.
> com.android.build.api.transform.TransformException: Error while generating the main dex list.

Re #83: Please file a new issue, as that is error indicates there is a main dex list task error for the application, not for the test.

Echoing #78. Our instrumented tests using multidex worked using the 3.0.0 version of the Android Plugin for gradle. Updated to 3.1.1 and it would just say empty test suite. I found this bug then reverted back to 3.1.0-alpha04 and the tests work again. Should this be working in 3.1.1?

We (whoever has a repro) should probably file a new issue against 3.1.1 referencing this issue. This has been "marked as Fixed" 3 times... so it's possible the current problems are far from the original.

Re #85, #86:

Yes, please file a new bug, and paste the link here. Issue in #78 was due to a custom plugin which would disable multidex. Thanks!

Cool. Created https://issuetracker.google.com/u/1/issues/78108767 for this
