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.

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?
