llegalArgumentException when setting error message

[DCampodonico]

I'm getting this exception if I set an error message in onCreate:

E/AndroidRuntime: FATAL EXCEPTION: main
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Layout: -168 < 0
        at android.text.Layout.<init>(Layout.java:215)
        at android.text.StaticLayout.<init>(StaticLayout.java:493)
        at android.text.StaticLayout.<init>(StaticLayout.java:479)
        at android.text.StaticLayout.<init>(StaticLayout.java:457)

        at fr.ganfra.materialspinner.MaterialSpinner.setError(MaterialSpinner.java:760)

Maybe this is happening because the view wasn't completely laid out when calling setError().
A simple workaround is to delay the setError() by some milliseconds, but I don't know how reliable this is on older devices or if it will work everytime.

Hi you can try with this lib: https://github.com/Chivorns/SmartMaterialSpinner
The problem already fixed in this lib.
Good luck.

Still having this issue

This error can occur when setError() is called during a lifecycle Activity/Fragment , rather than a user action. For example if you call setError onStart, on Resume. Spinner can't draw and measure correctly. I solved this error by calling setError in handler.postDelayed()
