    at com.stackexchange.marvin.core.OperationThatCanFail$1.onPostExecute(OperationThatCanFail.java:81) rofl, I think they meant for the app to crash on that. ;)

  • This is still happening in version 1.0.35. The comment is still posted even with the crash happening.

  • Testing to see if this happens...and it does still happen, but still posted the comment.

    Repro'd on Nexus 4, 5.0.1 Lollipop, app v1.0.52. Looking from onPostExecute, it must be using AsyncTask, and yes, this must be handled carefully if there is configuration change (e.g. orientation change) since the app might lose the reference to the task and crash.

Thanks for reporting this! Sorry it took so long to fix, but it's fixed as of the next beta update (version 1.0.53+).

Technical details: Oh the irony of OperationThatCanFail causing a crash... here's the diff on onPostExecute:

             protected void onPostExecute(Exception e) {
+                if (fragment != null) {
+                    fragment.removeDependentAsyncTask(this);
+                    if (fragment.isDetached())
+                        return;
+                }
                 if (mDia != null && mDia.isShowing())
                     mDia.dismiss();
-                if (fragment != null)
-                    fragment.removeDependentAsyncTask(this);
                 if (isCancelled())
                     return;
                 if (e != null) { onFailure(e); } else { onSuccess(); }
             }

A fragment being "detached" (removed from the window manager) automatically removes all the children views in it from the manager so we needed to check if it was detached before trying to kill the status indicator pop-up.
