But your thread is still running in the original instance, so when it tries to hide the dialog, the system already took care of it, so boom. Honestly, this doesn't seem like it should raise an exception - if you try to dismiss a dialog that was never shown, oh well, don't do anything. But it is what it is. I ran into the exact same issue - my hacky fix was to keep a "am destroyed" flag in the activity. In onDestroy set it to true then in your runnable protect the call to dismiss with a check on that flag. If the activity has already been destroyed, you don't have to dismiss it, otherwise you do and safely can. > At this point I'm going with > > setRequestedOrientation( ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT ); > It's a sure thing. It's not - again, you're just masking the problem and will run into it via other means, though likely with much less likelihood. Good luck to the next guy.. I can't make it work. Come on!
