Understanding and Fixing BadTokenException in Android WebView
The Problem
So you have successfully created a webView in your App and already loaded your URL into it.

|
However, any interaction with the page (such as a dropdown menu) will result in BadTokenException crash with the following error message:
FATAL EXCEPTION: main
android.view.WindowManager$BadTokenException: Unable to add window — token is not valid; is your activity running?
The Cause
This happens when app wants to open a new dialog (e.g. for dropdown menu aka. spinner) while the container activity no longer exists.
The Solution
Create your WebView using the Activity Context rather than application context. Or if this is a child activity use parent activity context instead.
