Gimbal Proximity sdk throws error only on Lollipop devices

Question

I am working with gimbal proximity sdk. I am facing a strange error. The app is running perfectly fine on devices installed with pre-lollipop os versions. But when I try on lollipop devices I am getting an error at this line

contextContentConnector = ContextContentConnectorFactory.get(this);

Below is the LogCat message I am getting.

Answer 1

I've been having similar issues. I contacted Gimbal's customer support. Here is the answer I received:

Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for your feedback. Currently Gimbal Android Proximity SDK doesn’t support Android 5.0(Lollipop). we would recommend developers to use Android 4.4.3 or 4.4.4 version to compile apps using Gimbal Android proximity SDK.

Also, we are very interested to have Gimbal proximity work with Android 5.0.0 and are working to support with an SDK. We will let you know as soon as update is available.

Thanks The Gimbal Team
