Hyperion Core is Incompatible with requestWindowFeature()

[GPryan]

We have an activity with the following onCreate() implementation:

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
  super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
  requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);

  // And more
}

and the following manifest declaration:

<activity
	android:name="ExampleActivity"
	android:launchMode="singleTop"
	android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Holo.Light.Dialog">
</activity>

However, when including debugImplementation 'com.willowtreeapps.hyperion:hyperion-core:0.9.24', we get the following crash upon the activity starting.

java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{net.grandpad.zebra/net.grandpad.zebra.call.IncomingCallActivity}: android.util.AndroidRuntimeException: requestFeature() must be called before adding content

Any help or fix would be great. Keep up the great work. Thanks!

I'll note, we got around this by using Theme.Holo.Light.Dialog.NoActionBar instead of requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE), so this is no longer an issue for us. Still could be good to fix though :)

We have a similar problem with Hyperion and android.util.AndroidRuntimeException: requestFeature() must be called before adding content.

In our case we have a third party library creating a fullscreen activity upon receiving a broadcast (for marketing purposes). When this broadcast is received the third party library attempts to spawn a full screen activity but instead we see this crash.

As others have commented this is only an issue in builds that have Hyperion installed or the no-op version active. However, what's odd here is that we notice this crash on Android versions 5 and below.

It differs slightly from @GPryan 's issue in that we aren't setting requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE) (that's happening via the 3rd party library) but otherwise it appears the same.
