Android Question Weird Crash keeps happening

[FrostCodes]

Hello everyone, my app has been getting this weird crash sometimes and I haven't been able to find the cause or when it happens, it happens randomly
does anyone know how to solve it? Also, the crash does not after immediately after the RewardedVideoAd_ReceiveAd and sleep.

The key is this line in the log:

java.lang.Object cannot be cast to java.lang.String

Somewhere in your code an "object" is trying to be assigned to a String type variable.

Thats the issue I have checked and cant find it. The logs are also not showing where or something near to it.

From poking around in Core.jar it looks like the error is arising during the processing of a CallSubDelayed call. The CallSubDelayed has posted a Runnable to the message queue and the error occurs when the message queue dispatches that Runnable. I can't say anymore than that as the Runnable code is wrapped in a Try-Catch block and the line 'Common.java:1215' is throwing the exception in the catch block.

It's only a guess, and maybe not a good one, but perhaps one of the arguments to the Sub being called is passed an Object when it should be a String.

Thanks, I would check my code for exactly that maybe that is why I missed it.
I skipped CallSubDelayed related codes thinking it can't be that .

Further examination shows the error occurs when the Component parameter of the CallSubdelayed is being cast to a String

1252: c = Class.forName(String.valueOf(BA.packageName) + "." + ((String)Component).toLowerCase(BA.cul));

This occurs when the Component is neither a Class instance nor a BAClass instance in which case it is assumed to be a String. Check your Component parameters.

Thanks, @agraham I would check and post an update on it when I do.

Btw, I have done this before by forgetting to quote the method parameter of the CallSubdelayed. I don't think it throws an error in the IDE, just a warning about automatic string conversion. When you run the code though, boom...

I have checked my code but still can't find the issue.
I suspect it's an error from a library but I haven't been able to figure out which since I can't see the full error.
It's frustrating lol.. if anyone has another suggestion of how I can find the cause, please suggest it.
