IssueTracker

I've got kind of the same stack_trace from one of my users:

Seeing this as well, seems to be related to google play services? I am using the new maps v2 API - based on the stack trace it seems to be triggered by a button click that is handled by the gms onClick (perhaps when Play Services needs an update or is not installed?).  

Device: Motorola MOTXT912B Droid Razr 4G
OS: 4.0.4

I had exactly the same error on my phone today. When there is no Google Play Services on the phone or there is a problem with it, there is a button to install it instead of the map. When the user clicks that button, this crash happens.

I also get reports of this crash since our last app update. Never saw this before. It makes our app unusable for the affected users. It would be nice if Google would care to react in some way to this bug report, which is well over a year old now.

The stack trace in #5 doesn't contain anything related to the Maps API.

Are there steps to reproduce this on the latest version of Google Play Services? Is this still occurring?
Please provide an updated stack trace and additional details about the device, including the OS and Google Play Services version. Thanks!

I have the same problem, I'm not using MAP API in my APP, only Analytics (subpart of Play Services)

My stack trace from Android 4.4.4

I simply call context.startActivity(intent);

tomas.prochazka, This is the issue tracker for the Android Maps API v2.
If you are seeing an issue with any other API, it would be best to report it through their appropriate channels.

Thanks!

Hey #8.

#5 had gms in the stack trace:
at com.google.android.gms.internal.y.onClick(Unknown Source)

is that not part of the play services api?

I can reproduce this error on an Android 3.3 emulator which has no Google Play Services installed. When you click the OK button which is shown in the attached screenshot the app crashes when super.startActivityForResult(intent, requestCode) is invoked.

Same issue here,
The map API version that i use is 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:9.0.2'

Here the details,
