Question

For some reason I am getting the exception
“android.util.AndroidRuntimeException: requestFeature() must be called before adding content”

on the following command:

        useTitleFeature = window.requestFeature(Window.FEATURE_CUSTOM_TITLE);

Kinda doesn’t make any sense.

Add that to the fact that it depends where I call it from.
If I call the method that contains it from the onCreate then it is ok.
However, if I call the method from the “onPostExecute” of an AsyncTask then it doesn’t work.
If I skip the command it still lets me do setContent.
It’s only this command that it doesn’t like.

Answer 1

You have to put that command before the setContentView(R.layout.main);.

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_CUSTOM_TITLE);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);
}

Hope that helps.
