The devices are all on Android 8.0 and there are:

• Galaxy S8 (dreamlte)
• Xperia X Compact (F5321)
• Galaxy S9 (starlte)
• Mate 10 Pro (HWBLA)

Can anyone help me with this stacktrace? Is there a way to find the root cause of this?

Answer 1

I had a similar crash which appeared to be caused by the wrong java compatibility being used. It was resolved by adding the following to the module build.gradle file:

compileOptions {
        sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
        targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
}
