Android N crashes in TextAppearanceSpan

Question

Since upgrading my Nexus 5X to Android N, I have the following crash when using EditText:

   java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Failed to resolve attri         


        

Answer 1

Add this to your Edit text view android:textAppearance="@color/" like this:

<EditText 
      android:textAppearance="@color/abc_primary_text_disable_only_material_dark"
      ...
/>

"@color/abc_primary_text_disable_only_material_dark" (built in) :

<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:state_enabled="false" android:color="@color/bright_foreground_disabled_material_dark"/>
    <item android:color="@color/bright_foreground_material_dark"/>
</selector>

it works for me

Answer 2

In the stack trace there was a reference to SuggestionsPopupWindow that made me think of disabling suggestions for EditText.

I used the following code as a workaround:

    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.N) {
        if ((editText.getInputType() & InputType.TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_NO_SUGGESTIONS) != InputType.TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_NO_SUGGESTIONS) {
            editText.setInputType(editText.getInputType() | InputType.TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_NO_SUGGESTIONS);
        }
    }

We can also set inputType in XML, but the above code allows us to add TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_NO_SUGGESTIONS to existent input type.

Updating the support library to 25.0.0 or higher fixes this issue
