The bottomline of your problem is this line in your logcat
Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'boolean java.io.File.mkdir()' on a null object reference
at com.google.maps.api.android.lib6.gmm6.m.ad.a(Unknown Source)
You need an SD card in order to run your code in play-services:8.4.0
. Please take a look at this for more information about your current problem.
EDIT: This issue is already fixed. Upgrading Google Play Services to 9.0.83 will solve this issue.
