When I try to do a WindowManager.removeView(), E/AndroidRuntime( 2445): java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: View=android.widget.LinearLayout{41a03700 V.E..... ......I. 0,0-0,0} not attached to window manager E/AndroidRuntime( 2445): at android.view.WindowManagerGlobal.findViewLocked(WindowManagerGlobal.java:370) E/AndroidRuntime( 2445): at android.view.WindowManagerGlobal.removeView(WindowManagerGlobal.java:299) E/AndroidRuntime( 2445): at android.view.WindowManagerImpl.removeView(WindowManagerImpl.java:79) I get this fatal error because the view was not in the window manager. Is there no way to check if windowmanager had already added the view before? I do not see any such method in the source android  android-layout share improve this question asked  Nov 20 '14 at 16:01 likejiujitsu 1,214 4 32 65

You can check to see if the view's window token is null: if(view.getWindowToken() != null){ WindowManager.removeView(view); } You could also just catch the exception: try{ WindowManager.removeView(view); }catch(IllegalArgumentException e){ Log.e(debug_tag, "view not found"); } share improve this answer
