ADFA-4500: Fix plugin dialogs and toasts crashing in floating windows - #1771
Merged
Conversation
Editing this file for ADFA-4500 enrols it in the origin/stage ratchet, which reformats it in full. Committed on its own so the behavioural change that follows stays readable.
…indow A plugin fragment undocked into a floating window runs against a window context created for TYPE_APPLICATION_OVERLAY, and the platform requires every window added through it to carry that same type. A Dialog builds a TYPE_APPLICATION window and a Toast a TYPE_TOAST one, so AlertDialog.Builder(requireContext()) .show() and Toast.makeText(requireContext(), ...) both throw IllegalArgumentException the moment the tab is floating. Neither can be corrected by the IDE on the plugin's behalf: Window exposes no theme attribute for its type and hard-casts to WindowManagerImpl, so a getSystemService proxy cannot rewrite it, and a toast is posted by the system against whatever context built it. The platform's own multi-type exemption is limited to a WindowProviderService, a system API. So plugins need an entry point of their own. PluginWindows.showDialog applies the type the dialog's context requires; showToast posts against the application context, which imposes no window type. Both are no-ops while docked, so one call site is correct in either state. ABI change is purely additive; apiCheck passes.
A floating window is TYPE_APPLICATION_OVERLAY, which the platform always stacks above an activity's own windows. The plugin crash dialog was an ordinary activity dialog, so it rendered behind the floating window, and because an overlay is a separate window its modality did not extend there: tapping the overlay never surfaced the dialog. The reporter had to move, minimise or dock the floating window to reach it. OverlayDialogs raises a dialog to the same window type when any floating window is open, leaving an ordinary activity dialog untouched when nothing is floating. The platform attaches no app token to a system-type window (Window.adjustLayoutParamsForSubWindow: "the life cycles should be independent"), so a raised dialog outlives the activity; EditorHandlerActivity tracks the ones it raises and dismisses them in onDestroy. Applied to both crash dialogs, the summary and the log view. Two sibling dialogs in this activity have the same problem and are deliberately left alone: the unsaved-files confirmation and ADFA-4501's close-project dialog. overlayType becomes public so the window type has a single definition.
An activity installs AppCompat's view factory on its LayoutInflater, and that is what turns an unqualified <Button> into a MaterialButton. OverlayFragmentHost drives a FragmentManager with no activity, so its FragmentHostCallback returned a bare LayoutInflater.from(context) with no factory and the same layout inflated framework widgets: a plugin's Add button changed from a filled MaterialButton to a grey all-caps android.widget.Button the moment the tab was undocked. Fully-qualified tags such as MaterialCardView were unaffected, which is why only some of the UI shifted. The host now installs MaterialComponentsViewInflater, the inflater the Material theme itself names, as a Factory2. It clones the inflater after installing it because Fragment.onGetLayoutInflater sets the child FragmentManager's own factory on whatever the host returns and LayoutInflater refuses a second setFactory2; cloning carries the factory across with that flag cleared so the two are merged. FragmentActivity does the same with the activity's inflater.

Both entry points were described as no-ops while docked. They are not: showDialog still shows the dialog and showToast still posts the toast. What is conditional is only the window retyping. Say that they keep the ordinary activity-backed behaviour instead. Documentation only, no behaviour change.

…rt a refusal Two review findings on PluginWindows. A dialog retyped to TYPE_APPLICATION_OVERLAY carries no app token, so the platform does not tear it down with the window that opened it. Closing or docking the floating window left the dialog drawing over whatever the user did next, with no way to remove it if the plugin had made it uncancellable. PluginWindows now weakly tracks what it retypes and exposes an internal dismissal keyed by the owning context; PluginTabDockableContent calls it from onDestroyView, next to the fragment teardown. The KDoc says so too, since a plugin holding a dialog across other lifecycle events still has to dismiss it. prepareDialog also failed silently: with a non-activity context and no overlay permission it returned having done nothing, and showDialog went on to throw the very exception this class exists to prevent. Both now return whether the dialog can be shown, so a plugin can degrade instead of crashing. Nothing is swallowed; the caller is told. The internal entry point is excluded from the public ABI by the validator's nonPublicMarkers, so plugins cannot call it. Net ABI against stage is unchanged at +9/-0.
Two more review findings. The raise decision was sampled once, at show time. Dock or close the last floating window while the crash dialog is up and it stayed an overlay-type window with no app token, drawing over the launcher or another app even though nothing was floating any more. DockingManager.windows is a flow, so the activity now observes it and dismisses what it raised when the list empties. OverlayDialogs.show returns whether it actually raised the dialog, which lets the activity track only the token-less ones. An untouched dialog is an ordinary activity dialog the platform tears down and never needed tracking. showAboveFloatingWindows also overwrote the dialog's dismiss listener unconditionally. Harmless today, since neither call site sets one, but the next caller's would be dropped and its tracking entry would then never be removed, re-introducing the leak the list exists to prevent. Dismissed entries are pruned on the next show instead; Dialog.setOnDismissListener has no additive form.

Fixes ADFA-4500. Undocking the Snippets plugin and tapping Add crashed the app, and the crash dialog then rendered behind the floating window where tapping it could not surface it.
Root cause
A plugin fragment undocked into a floating window runs against a window context created for
TYPE_APPLICATION_OVERLAY(FloatingTabService.kt:113). The platform requires every window added through such a context to carry that same type. ADialogbuilds aTYPE_APPLICATIONwindow and aToastaTYPE_TOASTone, so both throwIllegalArgumentExceptiononce the tab is floating. Docked, the context is the activity, so the same code works.The IDE cannot correct this on a plugin's behalf.
Windowexposes no theme attribute for window type and hard-casts toWindowManagerImpl(Window.java:881), so agetSystemServiceproxy wouldClassCastException; the platform's multi-type exemption (WindowManagerImpl.java:200) is limited to aWindowProviderService, a system API. Plugins need an entry point of their own.Changes
Four commits, reviewable in order:
style:Spotless reformat ofOverlayLayoutParams, no functional change. Editing the file for this ticket enrols it in theorigin/stageratchet.PluginWindows.showDialogapplies the window type the dialog's context requires;showToastposts against the application context, which imposes no window type. Both no-op while docked, so one call site is correct in either state. ABI change is purely additive,apiCheckpasses, changelog entry added.OverlayDialogsraises a dialog to the same window type when a floating window is open, and leaves it untouched otherwise. A system-type window gets no app token (Window.adjustLayoutParamsForSubWindow: "the life cycles should be independent"), so a raised dialog outlives the activity;EditorHandlerActivitytracks and dismisses them inonDestroy.OverlayFragmentHostdrives aFragmentManagerwith no activity, so its inflater carried no AppCompat factory and an unqualified<Button>inflated as a framework widget: the Add button changed from a filledMaterialButtonto a grey all-capsandroid.widget.Buttonwhen undocked. Fully-qualified tags such asMaterialCardViewwere unaffected, which is why only part of the UI shifted. The host now installsMaterialComponentsViewInflateras aFactory2, cloning after installing it becauseFragment.onGetLayoutInflatersets the child FragmentManager's factory on the result andLayoutInflaterrefuses a secondsetFactory2— cloning clears that flag so the two merge.FragmentActivitydoes the same.Verification
Device (arm64 emulator, API 36), with the snippets plugin built against this branch:
Window type mismatchand zero fatals in logcat.MaterialButton, mixed case.The toast half was found by the reporter after the dialog fix; the original stack trace only showed the dialog.
Plugin crash dialog, font scales 1.0 and 2.0
The crash dialog is the surface commit 3 changes, so it was exercised directly. To display it I deployed the pre-fix snippets build, undocked it and tapped Add, which still throws and routes through
handlePluginCrash.Dialog.show, Copy and Close remain pinned and reachable.Separately, the undocked Snippets window itself was checked at 1.0 and 2.0: no clipping, list scrolls, Material button intact.
Font scale was read before the run and restored afterwards.
Deliberately not changed
Two sibling dialogs in
EditorHandlerActivityrender behind floating windows for the same reason and are left alone: the unsaved-files confirmation (:1404) and ADFA-4501's close-project dialog (:1994). The second is the likelier of the two, since it exists to handle open floating windows. Happy to fold them in or file a follow-up.Dependent change
The snippets plugin must adopt
PluginWindows; that PR is inplugin-examplesand needs this merged plus alibs/refresh first.
