Got a stacktrace from Android Market that mentions a competitor's app

Question

Does anyone know what this could possibly mean? Apparently someone else's app caused mine to crash? And it happens to be an app that directly competes with mine:

TenFour I would bet since you are talking about a competing App that there must be some INtent Handling going on that led to this. Maybe the Competitor app was actually trying to do something at the same time your app was trying to do something and they clashed. Without knowing more it's hard to provide a more detailed answer
