Android weird "divide by zero" exception in ListView

I am using GA to tracking my applications. I have noticed that there is a weird exception reported sometimes on every release. The reported calling stack shows that it seems to be the Android issue of the user's device(I can never reproduce this issue). I tried hard but still cannot find a clue, is there anyone have some experience with this problem?

admob null pointer exception on few devices

My apps are force closing on few devices(samsung & sony) after implementing interstitial ads and the stack traces from developer console is as follows.

I don't understand why it is happening. Can someone help?

Use the new Google Play Services library which now include the Admob classes.
The Admob package has changed so your imports will need to be adjusted to
import com.google.android.gms.ads.*;

App crashes when trying to extend SherlockActivity in android studio

After importing the actionbarsherlock module, my app crashes on any activity that extends the SherlockActivity. I am not sure if I had imported it incorrectly or something needs to be adjusted but I have followed a guide that was previously posted here on stackoverflow. If i extend Activity and not sherlockActivity there will be no crash.

You need to make sure that the dependency scope is set to "compile". In some cases it seem to be set to "provided" which will cause a NoClassDefFoundError.

Android: Application is running in Android device but not working in Emulator

I am working in android. I designed an application. Whenever i run this application in android device then it works fine. but when i run this application in android then it crashes.
these are statements in CatLog:

Please help me to find out the reason for this problem.
Thank you in advance.

I resolved this issue by my own efforts. This is related to Memory capacity of emulator. I created new AVD which has large CD card capacity and Heap size so it working properly.
Thank you so much who tried to help me.

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.
