Android NullPointerException in $Proxy0.equals

Question

I've recently published a couple android games based in libgdx, both of them have reported an error I have no idea where to begin with debugging. This is the stacktrace.-

java.lang.NullPointerException: null result when primitive expected

I know the problem is something related with Google Play Game Services, but can't figure out what can be causing it. In both cases, the android version seems to be 2.3.3. Anyone who faced the same issue?

Answer 1

Try going on properties on your android project , and under the android tag check to see if your google library is there . If it is there try removing it and add it again . This is how i solved this problem and worked for me . (i still get this error sometimes when i start the eclipse ). Good luck !
