Question

Answer 1

I had the same problem, getting IllegalStateException, but replacing all my calls to commit() with commitAllowingStateLoss() did not help.

The culprit was a call to DialogFragment.show().

I surround it with

try {
    dialog.show(transaction, "blah blah");
}
catch(IllegalStateException e) {
    return;
}

and that did it. OK, I don't get to show the dialog, but in this case that was fine.

It was the only place in my app where I first called FragmentManager.beginTransaction() but never called commit() so I did not find it when I looked for "commit()".

The funny thing is, the user never leaves the app. Instead the killer was an AdMob interstitial ad showing up.
