Answer 1

I have experienced this problem.

In my case, after perform a startActivity, the application throwed the following exception:

After hours of investigation, I identified that my class BaseActivity, who is extended by all application activities, has implemented a protected method called getUserId, like the example below:

 class BaseActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

   ...

   protected int getUserId() {
     return getCurrentUserRepository().getId();
   }
 }

I just changed the method name to another and the application back to work again:

 class BaseActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

   ...

   protected int getApplicationUserId() {
     return getCurrentUserRepository().getId();
   }
 }

I could not find any method with same name in base classes, but as can we see in stacktrace, this method was probably called by Reflection.

Other important think is that just activities who implements any EditText view throws the exception. The problem occour after implementation of Autofill Framework in API 26.

Answer 2

I have experienced same issue in kotlin. This Issue Happens only when Edittext is implemented in activity and Having getUserId() method in this Class or it parent class. Changing getUserId() to getUserIdd() fixed my problem.

In Kotlin I had a variable

var userId=0

I changed it to

var userIdd=0

Solved My problem.
