weird issue - android app crashes at some of the device. why is it?

Question

i have an android trivia app. some players get errors when they click on "new game". for me it works fine, and for it works fine also for most of the players.

the problem is most of the times at galaxy devices, but there are same devices with the same version that everything works right for them.

here is the error

do you have any idea what is the problem? thanks

Answer 1

Check if there is supposed to be some settings on that "Settings" table when the app starts. It seems as if some configuration process that must take place before the user reaches the new game screen is not triggering.

Answer 2

根据您的异常日志，您正在尝试从不包含BannerAdImageURL列的自定义表格settings读取某些设置。
