Answer 1

The crash occurs on an EditText placed in the WindowManager when user taps on a word underlined as red. Such a underlined word means that it does not exist in the dictionary. On the tap, OS tries to show up a pop with closest matching words from the dictionary and crashes since such a pop up can't be attached to the window due to bad token exception.

Only the following solution seemed to work for me programmatically

//assume an EditText object with name myEditText
myEditText.setInputType(myEditText.getInputType() | InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_VISIBLE_PASSWORD | InputType.TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_NO_SUGGESTIONS);

InputType.TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_NO_SUGGESTIONS does not seem to work as expected on all keyboards whereas InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_VISIBLE_PASSWORD has the drawback that it also disables toggling the language in the keyboard and the swipe gesture to add the text.
