Crash in Marshmallow Fragment Activity for Maps

Question

I am using fragmentActivity for maps.In Java class getting error on setContentView. My Mapscreen.java is like: It is working fine on some devices showing crash on marshmallow only.Or is there any other reason?

public class MapScreen extends FragmentActivity implements LocationListener,
GoogleApiClient.ConnectionCallbacks,
GoogleApiClient.OnConnectionFailedListener {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.map_screen);
    ....

    SupportMapFragment fm = (SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager()
            .findFragmentById(R.id.map);
    googleMap = fm.getMap();
}

    and my xml has fragment using SupportMapFragment as well. map_screen.xml is like :


    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <RelativeLayout 
      xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:orientation="vertical" >

        <fragment
            android:id="@+id/map"
            android:name="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="fill_parent"
            android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
            android:layout_alignParentTop="true" />

        <ImageView
            android:id="@+id/startActivityButton"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
            android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
            android:layout_marginLeft="50dp"
           android:layout_marginRight="50dp"
            android:layout_marginBottom="44dp"
           android:background="@drawable/end_meetup_btn"
         />

    </RelativeLayout>

I am not able to find the same question Getting crash here in Marshmallow: "Binary XML file line #7: Error inflating class fragment" Please suggest! Tried to find "Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'boolean java.io.File.mkdir()' on a null object reference" also.

Answer 1

The Issue was on "Micro-max Android one mobile" which was 6.0 Marshmallow. this device has not enough internal or external memory space.Even does not have SD card.

After following answer of George from this :

NullPointerException from Google maps

i installed memory card and now crash is not coming.

So i found problem was Updated Google Play services which require Space (updated Google photos ) that was not enough in my device.

and also one of the Error line was showing "Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'boolean java.io.File.mkdir()' on a null object reference"

i decided to check after installing SD-card. And it worked
