Android Question How to temporarily fix "Only fullscreen opaque activities can request orientation"

[fredo]

For certain reasons, the targetSdk version of an app was set to 29 and uploaded to the Playstore. Since the app is already rolled out, this cannot be set to a lower level without considerable effort.

In the pre-launch report of the Google Play console, Android 8.0 devices issue the following message:

java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{a....f.main}:
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Only fullscreen opaque activities can request orientation

Spoiler: The full errormessage on device with Android 8.0

When searching for a solution this useful site was found next to many nebulous hints from other sources:

https://translate.google.com/transl....github.io/2019/06/26/fullscreen_orientation/​

Since solution 3 is out of question and solution 1 ("Translucent=false" in Manifest) gave no improvement, an attempt with solution 2 brought the desired success:

​

After commenting out the line "#SupportedOrientations" in main a new test run was successful.

However, it is important to understand that this is not a final solution, as the line "#SupportedOrientations: portrait" is necessary and represents a reasonable setting.

If someone has successfully found a valid method, I would like to test it with my setup and use it if applicable.

Is your main activity a transparent activity?

Is your main activity a transparent activity?

It's not consciously set.

The snippet from AndroidManifest.xml is not related to your theme. All apps that use Google play services include this snippet.

Are you able to reproduce this error locally?

 

[fredo]

...reproduce this error locally?

At the moment there is no device or emulator with api 26 available. I will probably have to create a minimal test project and post it here.

 

[Erel]

api 26 = Android 8. There is an emulator available for Android 8 and there are many many developers using this version.

 

[fredo]

There is an emulator available for Android 8 ...

Oops, I meant "At the moment there is no device or emulator for me with api 26".​

Ok, with an emulator from the Android Studio I can now reproduce the error locally, so that the test project will be quicker available.

Spoiler: Error message with emulator

I get this same error in Firebase, 100% in Android 8.0:

Fatal Exception: java.lang.RuntimeException
Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{br.com.myprofile/br.com.myprofile.perfil}: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Only fullscreen opaque activities can request orientation

I don't made any change in this part of the code in my app, for several months ago and now this error is raised.

I use an transparent activity with this codes:

Manifest:

SetActivityAttribute(Profile, android:theme, @style/Theme.Transparent)

Styles.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
  <style name="Theme.Transparent" parent="android:Theme.Holo.Light">
    <item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>
    <item name="android:background">@android:color/transparent</item>
    <item name="android:windowBackground">@android:color/transparent</item>
    <item name="android:colorBackgroundCacheHint">@null</item>
    <item name="android:windowIsTranslucent">true</item>
    <item name="android:windowAnimationStyle">@android:style/Animation</item>
  </style>
</resources>

 

[fredo]

I use an transparent activity with this codes:

I would be interested if the error persists when you set

<item name="android:windowIsTranslucent">false</item>

 

[asales]

I would be interested if the error persists when you set

<item name="android:windowIsTranslucent">false</item>

I do not have a device with Android 8.0 and I removed the transparency of the layout, which caused the error in Firebase. I will try to change this line in the other app that has less users.

 

[asales]

I would be interested if the error persists when you set

<item name="android:windowIsTranslucent">false</item>

To give an answer: yes, the error persists.
I tried in other app, that has the same issue int the firebase, and the problem remains.
