Android Spinner crashes on tapping

I have a spinner that populates list of options properly at first. Then when I switch the activity and come back and tap the spinner the app crashes (see log below).

        spinner1 = (Spinner) view.findViewById(R.id.fldWithSpinner1);


        ArrayAdapter<?> aa = new ArrayAdapter<Object>(LocationsUI.this,
                android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item, 
                availableLocations);
        aa.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
                spinner1.setAdapter(aa);

Everytime when I switch to LocationsUI the spinner is created. The spinner works ok only at the first time LocationsUI is displayed, after that every time when I tap on the spinner after the LocationsUI is re-displayed, it would crash:

Can you please show me the right direction to fix this issue?

As your Logcat says : android.view.WindowManager$BadTokenException: Unable to add window -- token android.os.BinderProxy@407f6d50 is not valid; is your activity running?

This can occur when you are showing the dialog for a context that no longer exists. Here is the link which can explain you what you doing wrong exactly : http://dimitar.me/android-displaying-dialogs-from-background-threads/

and here is the code that helps you from the same link :

private Handler myHandler = new Handler() {
  @Override
  public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
    switch (msg.what) {
      case DISPLAY_DLG:
        if (!isFinishing()) {
        showDialog(MY_DIALOG);
        }
      break;
    }
  }
};
