Android : Missing EXTRA PAYPAL CONFIGURATION. To avoid this error, set EXTRA PAYPAL CONFIGURATION in both PayPalService, and the initializing activity

I am trying to use the paypal in a Android environment.
Once I call the PayPalMobile.renderSinglePaymentUI function, the application hangs and I get following errors:
java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start service com.paypal.android.sdk.payments.PayPalService#4191d328 with Intent { act=android.intent.action.MAIN cat=[android.intent.category.LAUNCHER] cmp=com.demoPayPal.android/com.paypal.android.sdk.payments.PayPalService (has extras) }: java.lang.RuntimeException: Missing EXTRA_PAYPAL_CONFIGURATION.

Code:
String CONFIG_ENVIRONMENT = PayPalConfiguration.ENVIRONMENT_PRODUCTION;
String CONFIG_CLIENT_ID = activity.getResources().getString(R.string.paypal_clientID);
PayPalConfiguration config = new PayPalConfiguration().environment(CONFIG_ENVIRONMENT).clientId(CONFIG_CLIENT_ID).merchantPrivacyPolicyUri(Uri.parse("https://www.example.com/privacy")).merchantUserAgreementUri(Uri.parse("https://www.example.com/legal"));
PayPalPayment thingToBuy = getThingToBuy(PayPalPayment.PAYMENT_INTENT_SALE, amount, currency);
Intent intent = new Intent(activity, com.paypal.android.sdk.payments.PaymentActivity.class);
intent.putExtra(PayPalService.EXTRA_PAYPAL_CONFIGURATION, config);
intent.putExtra(com.paypal.android.sdk.payments.PaymentActivity.EXTRA_PAYMENT, thingToBuy);
startActivityForResult(intent, MainActivity.REQUEST_CODE_PAYMENT);
Has anyone came across such a situation? Have you got anything to propose?
Thanks in advance.

actually this is due to your PayPalCofiguration object being null.
before starting the PayPalService, you are setting the EXTRA_PAYPAL_CONFIGURATION with putExtra. So if the config which youll pass here is null, the crash will happen. Check for your config being non null. That should solve the issue, Cheers.

Android Live Wallpaper crashes on Amazon App Store Testing ActivityNotFoundException

I am trying to put my live wallpaper on Amazon App Store(This live wallpaper is already live on Google Play Store), However, when I uploaded same APK for testing on Amazon Developer site it reports following exception

Toast toast = Toast.makeText(this, hint, Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
toast.show();
}
startActivityForResult(intent, 0);
I am not sure what the problem is. Any help is appreciated.

Android is a funny world and implicit intents unfortunately, vary more than we (developers) would like them to. Specially for Amazon devices, that are not required to comply with Google test suite. On my app, I've seen ActivityNotFoundException trying to launch the web-browser.
So my suggestion, even tho it doesn't actually fix the issue, it's just try catch it:
try{
startActivityForResult(intent, 0);
} catch(ActivityNotFoundException e) {
// why amazon, why?
}

First time Google Map API

I am a first time Android Studio user, trying to get the Google Map app to run from the samples provided. Android-Studio is running on a Gentoo Linux platform, using Java 8. I have followed the directions on how to add Google Play services, added the definition to Gradle, far as I can tell it is the virtual device that does not have Google play service support. I have also added pro-guard rules, error is always the same. The build rules and dependencies have the entries from the documentation. It looks like it should work.
It is obvious that I am missing something basic. The basic HelloWorld works fine, I am stumbling on Google's security and the mechanism by which they are invoked. Reviewing the documentation, I see references to GoogleAPIClient -- Do I have to setup the client connection before trying to connect? Is there, perhaps sample code where this process is defined correctly, with all its pieces?
The studio itself is at current revision levels. From the error, is it possible I have missed something else, the ActivityNotFound exception?

can any1 please help?

Check to see that you scheme is spelled correctly. I found that simply using "HTTP:" instead of "http:" caused exactly this problem. Note at the bottom of this page:
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/data-element.html
... that scheme matching in Android is case sensitive.

Presumably either you are getting some sort of HTTP error (e.g., invalid URL and a 404 response) or the HTTP response is served under a MIME type that your device lacks an app for.

I faced the same issue after a lots of try I found the issue was with my URL.
I changed the URL to https, later its work

setPluginState and setPluginsEnabled

My Android app was first intended for Android 2.2 onwards so I used
player.getSettings().setPluginState(WebSettings.PluginState.ON);
for the WebView object.
Now that I've decided to open my app to Android 2.1 users, I changed my code to this:
try {
player.getSettings().setPluginState(WebSettings.PluginState.ON);
} catch (Exception e) {
player.getSettings().setPluginsEnabled(true);
}
With this, the app force closes and I get this error on my logcat:
Uncaught handler: thread main exiting due to uncaught exception

Any help with this error?
EDIT:
This error only appears on the 2.1 emulator.

A bit late - I'm sure you've figured it out by now - but the error is caused by the class PluginState not being available on Android versions < 2.2 (API 8). See the android docs on PluginState.
The reason why you can't catch this with try {} catch (Exception e) {} is because the NoClassDefFoundError is not an Exception - it's an Error. While Error and Exception are both children of Throwable they are not the same, hence you cannot catch an Error with an Exception and vice versa.
To solve this you can take either of the following approaches:
Check which Android version the device is running, and only call PluginState when the device is running API-version >= 8.
In your catch()-statement, catch NoClassDefFoundError instead of Exception.
Also, Eclipse will most likely show a Lint-warning mentioning the PluginState-class is only available on API 8+. You can hide/ignore this warning by adding #SuppressLint("NewApi") to the line above your method.
