Android :WindowManager$BadTockenException on Spinner Click

Question

I have a spinner in my home.class. When I click on the spinner, the process is stopped showing exception that WindowManager$BadTockenException is caught.

I am calling this home.class from main.class which extends ActivityGroup.

If I am simply run only the home.class, the spinner is showing all items. But the problem is only with calling home.class from main.class.

The following are my code. Please tell me why this is happened.

main.class

public class main extends ActivityGroup
{
  public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
  {
      super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
       Intent intent=new Intent(this,home.class);
       View view=getLocalActivityManager().startActivity("1", intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP)).getDecorView();
       setContentView(view);
  }

}

home.class

String[] country={"Please selects","US","INDIA","UK"};
Spinner s2 = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.spinnerCountry);
ArrayAdapter<CharSequence> adapterCountry=new ArrayAdapter(this,android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item,country);
adapterCountry.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
s2.setAdapter(adapterCountry);

s2.setOnItemSelectedListener(new OnItemSelectedListener()
{
     public void onItemSelected( AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id)
     {
            countryName=country[position];
     }

      public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> parent)
     {
            countryName=country[0];
      }

});

The error may be with the setContentView given inside your home.class.

Instead of setContentView(yourlayout);

give,

View viewToLoad = LayoutInflater.from(this.getParent()).inflate(yourlayout, null);
this.setContentView(viewToLoad);  
Spinner s2 = (Spinner) viewToLoad.findViewById(R.id.spinnerCountry);

And give your spinner code as:

ArrayAdapter<CharSequence> adapterCountry=new ArrayAdapter(this.getParent(),android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item,country);
adapterCountry.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
s2.setAdapter(adapterCountry);

Since you are using activity group, you face this issue. Hope this solution may help you.
