Crash on API 26: Only fullscreen activities can request orientation

[Jacobjepsen27]

When starting the AuthorizationManagementActivity i get the follow error message:

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Only fullscreen activities can request orientation
at android.app.ActivityThread.performLaunchActivity(ActivityThread.java:2946)

Target and Compile SDK version is 27.

Are you recompiling the library, or using a released version? If so, which?

We don't define any complex properties for that activity, just android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Translucent.NoTitleBar". I'll take a look and see if that is now deprecated as of API 27 or something.

I am using your released version, 0.7.0, from bintray.

I managed to find a fix but i don't like it.

I have some activities where i'd like to set the screen orientation to portrait. To prevent hardcoding this to each activity in my application (or in the manifest), i registered ActivityLifecycleCallbacks in my Application class to be able to dynamically set the screen orientation. Apparently, this was the issue but only for API 26.

If i hardcode the portrait screen orientation to my activity everything is fine.

We might need to live with it: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/68454482

Hmm, disappointing thread from Google. It may be possible to provide an alternate theme for API 26 that avoids the issue. If anyone has bandwidth to investigate whether that would work I would appreciate it, my time is limited right now.
