popBackStack() after saveInstanceState()

Question

I'm running into an issue where I have an Activity with multiple fragments. For any individual fragment, you can perform a search operation, which works just fine...if you search from any of the fragments, it will display a new Activity to handle the searching, then return the result to the Activity to handle displaying a new fragment. The problem is, after a search operation, I want to be able to clear (almost) all the fragments away using popBackStackImmediate(...) and since saveInstanceState(...) was called, I get an exception that says:

"java.lang.IllegalStateException: Can not perform this action after onSaveInstanceState" 

Any idea how to pop from the back stack after onSaveInstanceState has been called?

Answer 1

Apparently my issue spawned from the call being made in onActivityResult(...)

I was able to fix the issue by putting the UI modification code inside a Runnable, then posting the Runnable to the main thread:

Runnable r = new Runnable() {     @Override     public void run() {         // UI code here     } }; Handler h = new Handler(); h.post(r); 

Answer 2

call super.onActivityResult first before your logic and the issue will get fixed as FragmentActivity's onActivityResult calls mFragments.noteStateNotSaved();
