Can you share your custom action definition and which thread executes it?

I would suggest using the UI thread when registering the actions to avoid such issues. The action queue mechanism is triggered on the UI thread, which probably is the cause of the crash. The heavy network operations are executed in a background threads.

[michalkierasinski]

class OpenAction @Inject constructor() : MessageTemplate {

    override fun getName() = ACTION_NAME

    override fun createActionArgs(context: Context): ActionArgs = ActionArgs().with(URL, "")

    override fun present(actionContext: ActionContext): Boolean {
        val url: String = actionContext.stringNamed(URL)

        if (!deepLinkManager.isLinkSupported(url)) {
            Timber.e("Deep Link is not supported")
            return false
        }

        // TODO: Open deep link
        actionContext.actionDismissed()
        return true
    }

    override fun dismiss(context: ActionContext): Boolean = true

    private companion object {
        const val ACTION_NAME = "Action Name"

        const val URL = "URL"
    }
}

Actions are registered on a different thread than UI.

Thanks, I will rise a bug about that, meanwhile could you use the UI thread when registering them. The registration is a light operation, that doesn't involve any network requests, and wouldn't freeze the UI thread.

[michalkierasinski]

Ok, thanks. Please fix it or update the documentation.
