Firebase Analytics - NPE in CrashReport

I've just migrated to Firebase Analytics 9.0.0 and when tried to launch the app on emulator api10/x86, then the following exception is thrown by the services. Any ideas how to work around that?

The code is nothing more than activity with:
#Override
protected void onCreate(#Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
FirebaseCrash.log("onCreate: " + getClass().getSimpleName());
}

Unfortunately, using Firebase on devices or emulators without Play Services isn't a supported use case. Crash Reporting will fail to initialize, and you will see a message to that effect in logcat when the app launches. However, if you are also seeing a crash when calling a method after failed init, that seems like a problem we should correct.
It sounds like you are doing the best thing you can by suppressing the exception, but I'd rather not make you go through that, so I'll pass it on as feedback to the team.

Just small correction on what Doug mentioned. Firebase Crash Reporting is not supported on non-play devices. Firebase Analytics in particular and some of the other Firebase product do support non-play devices.

My app freezes crashes when it's supposed to go to the next activity

I don't know why the app crashes whenever it's supposed to go to the next Activity. I made a practice app that works as it should when using the same format. I uploaded the files to gist.github.
The error is

The questions array at line no. 164 is going out of bound that means questionIndex is greater than the total length of the questions array. So you should add a check on the length before extracting value from the array.
You have added the check but after that you incremented the value so either you modify the if condition to if (questionIndex < questions.length -1)
or modify the questionIndex variable before the if condition
You are getting problem because you haven't initiated resultView9 that is why it is null and giving nullpointer, just initiatlise it as you done with other and everything is fine. You have initialised the resultView8 twice just add resultview9 over there

Peculiar android RuntimeException

I just received the wierdest looking stack trace on my Developer Console. What puzzles me is where "MArcos" came from? This was the app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=genius.mohammad.accelerometer.mouse
Try recreating the exception if you want and explain to me what it is if you can. Thanks!

It seems in your code (MainActivity.java: line number 85) you are trying to parse String as Integer.

Android market showing java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

I am getting following exception on android market for my app.

How about this one:

The issue is not in the AdWhirl code, or even the AdMob code. This is a NullPointerException in the Android WebView, and there is no known workaround for the AdMob/AdWhirl code. This shouldn't be happening that often, but if it really is a deal breaker, you may want to turn down the number of requests you're sending to AdMob.

Yes, I also have this problem.
My workaround: extend AdWhirlLayout, override dispatchWindowFocusChanged and every other method that have this exception occurring and catch the exception.
