IssueTracker

Thank you for reporting this issue.
Created a sample project from studio(Blank activity) and ran it on different API levels (26, 25) including sdk_x86-eng 4.1.2 MASTER 3462064 test-keys on our nexus/pixel devices, but couldn't come across the issue, So could you please let me know if I am missing something to reproduce the issue. Provide all necessary info to reproduce the issue, including the sample app which recreates the issue.

1. Let me know if it's API level/device specific issue.

2.Also provide Android bug report:
After reproducing the issue, press the volume up, volume down, and power button simultaneously. This will capture a bug report on your device in the “bug reports” directory. Attach the bug report  file to this issue.

Alternate method:
After reproducing the issue, navigate to developer settings, ensure ‘USB debugging’ is enabled, then enable ‘Bug report shortcut’. To take bug report, hold the power button and select the ‘Take bug report’ option.

@2 As I wrote, this is an automatic crash report, reported from real users. Not from me.
The only thing I can provide you is the bug report link itself, in Crashlytics, privately via email (because it's an app of the office).

@2 Here's the Crashlytics bug report, shared to "android-bugreport@google.com" :
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-PZZGk2vPohcG5POFAwWW5KMnM

I see the same crash reports happening on Android 7.0-8.0.
For some reason, when the Activity is resumed, is has a task id  (as returned by Activity.getTaskId()) of -1 which makes isTopOfTask() throw IllegalArgumentException.

@5 How did you find the cause for this?

My automated crash reports contains additional logging lines. Since I log lifecycle callbacks extensively with the task id, I could see that its value is -1 which is totally unusual and unexpected.

@7 I see . Makes sense.

Still getting crash report for this. A total of 34 crash reports (for 32 unique users) over a period of 14 days for an app with a large number of users.
So it is a rather rare problem and does not happen repeatedly for a given user.

Here's the platform code for onResume():

    protected void onResume() {
        if (DEBUG_LIFECYCLE) Slog.v(TAG, "onResume " + this);
        getApplication().dispatchActivityResumed(this);
        mActivityTransitionState.onResume(this, isTopOfTask());
        mCalled = true;
}


isTopOfTask() is only called as part of transition state handling, so this issue could maybe worked-around like this:

        @Override
        public void onResume() {
               
                try {
                        super.onResume();
                } catch(IllegalStateException e) {
                        try {
                                Field f = Activity.class.getDeclaredField("mCalled");
                                f.setAccessible(true);
                                f.set(this, true);
                        } catch (IllegalArgumentException | IllegalAccessException | NoSuchFieldException e1) {
                        }
                }
              ....
         }


Still this may do more harm than good if this issue is a consequence of something really broken.

EDIT: code above should catch IllegalArgumentException and not IllegalStateException.

I also met this issue on Android N, any progress?

Same error show in my crashlytics reports after update support library to version 26.1.0. In version 25.3.1 it was OK.

Still happening, on Android 7.0 - 8.0.0 devices.

Happening to us to, found two related SO issues without solution.

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/42758643/java-lang-runtimeexception-unable-to-resume-activity-with-java-lang-illegalargu/47765497#47765497
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/47790415/unable-to-resume-activity-with-java-lang-illegalargumentexception-on-android-api

Chrome on Android also encountered this exact issue. The tracking bug is https://crbug.com/840518, I've cc'ed amruthavanibid@google.com so you should have access to that crbug.

This is likely not the only bug filed if it is indeed a framework bug as comment #9 suggests.

@Amruthavani - Would you mind triaging this issue?

Thank you.

@15 There are a lot of crashes related to fragments&loaders, especially of the form of IllegalArgumentException .
I've reported about various types of them.

This issue might be a manifestation of this one (see diagram at the end):

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46309428/android-activitythread-reportsizeconfigurations-causes-app-to-freeze-with-black

Since it involve a specific and rare succession of events, it would explain why it is rare and almost never happen twice to the same user.

Having the same issue, but with Activity (not Fragment). Didn't have before, guess after updating support library.

Didn't have problem on support library 27.0.2, but having now with 27.1.1

Any updates from Google?

Still happening...

Any updates here?
we started seeing tones of this since a week ago - didn't change support libraries or any other 3rd party libraries
happens on devices from Nougat and above

Also getting this bug with support lib 28.0.0. I am also getting this crash from startActivityForResult, which seems related:

Fatal Exception: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException
android.os.Parcel.readException (Parcel.java:1963)

Happens for ~1% of users in rare cases, on all devices and Android versions >= 5.0.

Hi Google team ,

@25 It was never reproducible by me. It's a crash report from users. I've already provided you with all the information we have:
https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/66849632#comment3
https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/66849632#comment4

Other developers here might have a better understanding of what's going on, how to reproduce, and whether it still exists.

Hi , I have opened other bugnizer regarding this issue  https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/119763078  and here clearly provided issue which i am facing .

@Google team , can you let us know on what scenario this issue will come ? Lot of users facing this issue.

The related bug mentioned by #27 seems to be resolved now.
Could the fix for this bug be similar : skip calling isTopOfTask() if the activity is known to be destroyed?

As per comment #26,#28 we are closing this issue.

Comment 28 had two points:
1) Related (but not identical) issue #27 is resolved
2) Does this mean that this issue is resolved?

It's not clear if #29 answers both points.

Can we have confirmation that this issue (not just the related one) is resolved?

Thanks.

is this issue will be resolved on Android Q?,but how to fix it on Android N-O?

How is https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/119763078 related? Both crashes seem to happen roughly around when an activity is being started, but is it the same issue? The stack traces are different, with the cause not even coming from the same method. In this bug report it's coming from isTopOfTask(), whereas for the other issue it's reportSizeConfigurations().

This issue is happening to quite a few of our users, and we haven't been able to reproduce it. It started happening after the target and compile API levels were raised from 25 to 26 (Oreo). There was no other change that could be relating to what is suggested in https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/119763078#comment12.

Furthermore, for our users this crash happens predominantly on high-end devices. If the main thread is being blocked by some longer-running operation you would expect it to be worse on slower low-end devices, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

Some more clarifications from the team Google would be helpful here. Thank you.

I agree with #32, this issue is not related with the one mentioned in #27. Is there a workaround to solve it for Oreo?

Yes, this issue not related to comment #27. This issue occurs in Oreo (Samsung S7 Edge). We can't reproduce this issue but one of our users faced this issue

Any solution to this issue?

I am seeing the same issue for an Activity that just extends android.app.Activity, with no Fragments involved.

Unfortunately this bug still happens for differents devices and OS versions, there is any solution?

Hi @team google,
Is there any update on this issue? Our app is also facing this issue.
Until the problem got solved, is there any workaround solution that can be applied?

I don't think Google sees any updates to this issue, after they marked it as "fixed" :(  (Even though we asked them for clarification about why it was marked as fixed).

Probably have to create a new issue (and reference this one) if you're still seeing it.

I am seeing the same issue for an Activity that just extends androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity. It crashed on 7.0~9.0 version .

Got the same behavior. Android from 6.0 to 9.0

Got the same behavior. Android from 7.0 to 9.0

Same here, with the same range of Android versions

Got the same behavior. Android from 7.0 to 8.1

I am also facing the same issue for some days back. 94% Android 7, 51% on Samsung. Any update on this. Haven't any method call from on resume in my case.

I've actually noticed this today even when extending Activity and not FragmentActivity.
Found on Android 8.

How to fix this problem?,i do nothing in the method onresume,but it will crash when it calls super.onResme!!!!!!!
Android from 7.0 to 9.0
