Calling .hide() on an infinite crouton does not allow any future .show()'s

[joepetrakovich]

After calling hide() on an infinite crouton, and then later trying to show() it again, nothing is displayed.

It seems the only way to do it is to re-make() the infinite crouton EVERY time I need it, and then cancel() it (losing the nice animation feature).

This seems a bit odd and I'll have to look into this before it can be confirmed.

I actually think this might be a duplicate. It only seems to break when I call hide soon after show. AND calling show of a different, non-infinite crouton right after that last hide.

The sequence is:

User wants to load data from the web. Infinite loading crouton is shown. There is no network connection so it is immediately hidden with hide. A regular ALERT crouton is shown in the same view_group.

It will either do some strange animation where the infinite is blipping out at the same time the ALERT is jerking in.
Or my application will just crash at OnGlobalLayout at the call to startAnimation with a null pointer.

same here

i have a bunch of activities and everyone of them contain a statement in the onCreate(), when visiting another activity it pops in really fast then goes out. Doesn't allow the crouton to be displayed again, maybe my scenario is a little different, but same issue. Same end result.

Boolean connected = teknoloGenie.isNetworkConnected(getApplicationContext());
if (!connected) {
String needToActivateAlert = "No internet connection";
showCrouton(needToActivateAlert, Style.ALERT, CONFIGURATION_INFINITE);
}

Are you sure to use the workaround described in #24 ?

[TeknoloGenie]

Sorry @keyboardsurfer but that didn't fix my issue, i have done that on all of my activity's

[keyboardsurfer]

@TeknoloGenie no problem I was just checking.

I found my reason, somehow the onDestroy() isn't getting called right away, even though I'm calling finish on my Intents, so my workaround isn't putting Crouton.clearCroutonsForActivity(this); in the onDestroy(), its putting it right before all of my startActivity()

Same problem here (in a single activity).
When first using .hide(), no future alert croutons will be shown.

Is there a workaround?
