GCM Error - googleCloudMessaging.register

Question

I have the problem that the android application says. "The application xxxx Sorry stopped" to work with the push notificaction, when performing the debugger that happens when it passes:

method 1

InstanceID InstanceId = InstanceID.getInstance (context);

 token = instanceID.getToken (key_id.toString ()

GoogleCloudMessaging.INSTANCE_ID_SCOPE); getToken error,

method 2

Both an the same mistake

 if (googleCloudMessaging == null) {
googleCloudMessaging = GoogleCloudMessaging.getInstance(context);
                    }
                    token = googleCloudMessaging.register(key_id);

note that the token is generated but the application is closed, error:

"The method 'java.io.File android.support.v4.content.ContextCompat.getNoBackupFilesDir (android.content.Context)' was expected to be of type virtual but was found to be Instead of direct type (declaration of 'java.lang .reflect.ArtMethod 'appears in /system/framework/core-libart.jar)"

I am using android studio, for cdvCompileSdkVersion = android-22 cdvBuildToolsVersion = 22.0.1

Error:

"FATAL EXCEPTION: main

What could be the problem?

Answer 1

Google has updated on their release note that this issue is fixed, you just have to update the version to 9.0.2

Here is the release note: https://developers.google.com/android/guides/releases

Answer 2

The issue you are experiencing is due to an incompatibility between
play-services / firebase sdk v9.0.0 and com.android.support:appcompat-v7 >= 24
It's possible that you are not depending directly from appcompat-v7 >= 24 but some other dependencies are configured to use the most updated appcompat available.

To fix this issue we just released play-services / firebase sdk version 9.0.1
This minor release should fix the incompatibility with appcompat-v7 !
