Or when changing to textView.textMetricsParamsCompat still crash.

private fun setAsyncText(textView: AppCompatTextView, text: String?) {
        if (!text.isNullOrEmpty()) {
            val textFuture = PrecomputedTextCompat.getTextFuture(text!!, textView.textMetricsParamsCompat, null)
            textView.setTextFuture(textFuture) //Crash
        }
 }

add this line  :
     textView.setLayoutDirection(ViewCompat.getLayoutDirection(textView));
before  :
    setTextFuture(....)

Thanks, #3. It worked.

But I think it is better when set before this line
val textFuture = PrecomputedTextCompat.getTextFuture(text!!, textView.textMetricsParamsCompat, null)

Set android:layoutDirection="locale" or android:layoutDirection="inherit" for AppCompatTextView in the  XML layout didn't this problem.

The new method btw re-set layoutDirector. Weird! This should handle in the AppcompatTextView.

private fun setAsyncText(textView: AppCompatTextView, text: String?) {
        if (!text.isNullOrEmpty()) {
            textView.layoutDirection = textView.layoutDirection
            val textFuture = PrecomputedTextCompat.getTextFuture(text!!, textView.textMetricsParamsCompat, null)
            textView.setTextFuture(textFuture) //Crash
        }
}

Sorry. I forgot the info.

minSdk 21
targetSdk 28

Thanks #3 again.

App Crash at
TextViewCompat.java:889
if (!param.equals(precomputed.getParams())) {
        throw new IllegalArgumentException("Given text can not be applied to TextView.");
}
PrecomputedTextCompat.class:334
with :  this.mTextDir != other.getTextDirection() == true
So,
TextDirection on TextView and TextDirection on Param is difference
maybe, it handled wrong or missing conditional on getTextDirectionHeuristic of TextViewCompat

With reference to comment #4, issue is resolved by implementing suggested changes in comment #3. Can you please confirm if we need to still investigate this issue ?

Yes. textView.layoutDirection = textView.layoutDirection(>= API17) or ViewCompat.setLayoutDirection(textView, ViewCompat.getLayoutDirection(textView)) will resolve this bug.

But I think you should handle it in the AppcompatTextView. It is better. If a developer forgets testing with RTL. I think this is the nightmare(it is difficult to determine the bug) when they update their app on the Play Store.

I read this article, in the part databing he noted about set the direction
https://medium.com/google-developers/prefetch-text-layout-in-recyclerview-4acf9103f438'

fun asyncText
..........
// first, set all measurement affecting properties of the text
// (size, locale, typeface, direction, etc)

But in the offical document isn't good (lack direction)
https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/appcompat/widget/AppCompatTextView.html#setTextFuture(java.util.concurrent.Future%3Candroidx.core.text.PrecomputedTextCompat%3E)

Anything layout related property changes, text size, typeface, letter spacing, etc after this method call will causes IllegalArgumentException during View measurement.


My view: Handling this in the AppcompatTextView is the best choice if you can do it.

Thanks!

I think should handle setLayoutDirection in the AppcompatTextView when setTextFuture, it will simpler for dev when implement TextFuture.

We have passed this to the development team and will update this issue with more information as it becomes available.

===========================================

Requesting team for initial inputs. Please let us know if this can be handled as a part of this bug else we will create a separate bug for this.

Please ignore comment #12.

There is a crash that is very likely related to `1.8.0-alpha04`
```
Caused by java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to read from field 'int android.view.WindowManager$LayoutParams.flags' on a null object reference
       at androidx.core.view.WindowInsetsControllerCompat$Impl20.unsetWindowFlag(WindowInsetsControllerCompat.java:511)

       at androidx.core.view.WindowInsetsControllerCompat.setAppearanceLightNavigationBars(WindowInsetsControllerCompat.java:226)
```
On androids 10,9,8

Might it by any chance be already fixed in `1.8.0-alpha06`?

Yes it seems to be fixed
