I'm getting user reports from my app in the market, delivering the following exception:

Apparently it has something to do with a FragmentManager, which I don't use. The stacktrace doesn't show any of my own classes, so I have no idea where this exception occurs and how to prevent it.



For the record: I have a tabhost, and in each tab there is a ActivityGroup switching between Activities.

    I found a dirty solution for this kind of problem. If you still want to keep your ActivityGroups for whatever reason (I had time limitation reasons), you just implement

    public void onBackPressed() {}


    in your Activity and do some back code in there. even if there is no such Method on older Devices, this Method gets called by newer ones.

    Please check my answer here. Basically I just had to :

    @Override
    protected void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle outState) {
    //No call for super(). Bug on API Level > 11.
    }


    don't make the call to super() on the saveInstanceState method. This was messing things up...

div not scrolling properly with slimScroll plugin

By User
I am using the slimScroll plugin for jQuery by Piotr Rochala Which is a great plugin for nice scrollbars on most browsers but I am stuck because I am using it for a chat box and whenever the user appends new text to the boxit does scroll using the .scrollTop() method however the plugin's scrollbar doesnt scroll with it and when the user wants to look though the chat history it will start scrolling from near the top. I have made a quick demo of my situation http://jsfiddle.net/DY9CT/2/ Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

Why does this javascript based printing cause Safari to refresh the page?

By User
The page I am working on has a javascript function executed to print parts of the page. For some reason, printing in Safari, causes the window to somehow update. I say somehow, because it does not really refresh as in reload the page, but rather it starts the "rendering" of the page from start, i.e. scroll to top, flash animations start from 0, and so forth. The effect is reproduced by this fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/fYmnB/ Clicking the print button and finishing or cancelling a print in Safari causes the screen to "go white" for a sec, which in my real website manifests itself as something "like" a reload. While running print button with, let's say, Firefox, just opens and closes the print dialogue without affecting the fiddle page in any way. Is there something with my way of calling the browsers print method that causes this, or how can it be explained - and preferably, avoided? P.S.: On my real site the same occurs with Chrome.
