Appium Android click on element in WebView crashes code, but is executed in the emulator

I am developing Appium tests for an Android app. The problem happens during the login to facebook which works through a WebView. The login to facebook is necessary for the app login and the app registration. The login to facebook is in both cases (app login and app registration) the same, so I execute in both cases the same method:

private void logInAtFacebook(String email, String password) {
    findElementWithTimeout(By.className("android.webkit.WebView"), 10);
    Set<String> contextHandles = driver.getContextHandles();
    for (String s : contextHandles) {
        if (s.contains("WEBVIEW")) {
            driver.context(s);
        }
    }

    findElement(By.xpath("//input[@name='email']")).sendKeys(email);
    findElement(By.xpath("//input[@name='pass']")).sendKeys(password);
    findElement(By.xpath("//button[@name='login']")).click();        
    findElement(By.xpath("//button[@name='__CONFIRM__']")).click();

    driver.context("NATIVE_APP");
}

It is weird, that the app login with facebook works, but the app registration with facebook crashes. The second last line in the above method...

findElement(By.xpath("//button[@name='__CONFIRM__']")).click();

...doesn't return, but the button is clicked in the UI. In other words, the execution stops at this line, so that the next line...

driver.context("NATIVE_APP");

... is never executed. I am really confused. Why is the same code working for the app login, but not for the registration?!

Iv'e copied the logs from Android Studio:

First, the last lines before it crashes during app registration:

I found an inconvenient workaround, but it works for now:

private void logInAtFacebook(String email, String password) {
    findElementWithTimeout(By.className("android.webkit.WebView"), 10);
    Set<String> contextHandles = driver.getContextHandles();
    for (String s : contextHandles) {
        if (s.contains("WEBVIEW")) {
            driver.context(s);
        }
    }

    findElement(By.xpath("//input[@name='email']")).sendKeys(email);
    findElement(By.xpath("//input[@name='pass']")).sendKeys(password);
    findElement(By.xpath("//button[@name='login']")).

    driver.context("NATIVE_APP");

    driver.findElementByAccessibilityId("Continue").click();
}

The problem had something to do with the click within the WebView, so I decided to go back to context "NATIVE_APP" before the last click on the "Continue-Button" happens.

I'm still hoping for a better way to fix this!

Have you tried sending app to background for 0 seconds just after "__ CONFIRM__" button is clicked?

Example:

findElement(By.xpath("//button[@name='login']")).click();        
findElement(By.xpath("//button[@name='__CONFIRM__']")).click();
driver.runAppInBackground(0);

driver.context("NATIVE_APP");

Sometimes when tasks are done in background, you lose focus and you are not able to find, click or even make a screenshot with Appium...

Let me know if it worked
