Answer 1

You are trying to show the pop-up window even before the activity window has been displayed. With the help of post method we can wait until all necessary start up life cycle methods get completed.

Try this :

private void loadingPopup() {
    LayoutInflater inflater = this.getLayoutInflater();
    final View layout = inflater.inflate(R.layout.loading_dialog, null);

    final PopupWindow windows = new PopupWindow(layout , 300,300,true);
    windows.setFocusable(false);
    windows.setTouchable(true); 
    windows.setOutsideTouchable(true);
    layout.post(new Runnable() {
        public void run() {
            windows.showAtLocation(layout,Gravity.CENTER, 0, 0);
        }
    });
}
