My app is working fine in Moto G (Android 5.0.2) but crashing in Karbon spark (Android 5.1.1) and several other devices. This crash is due to MapFragment. Min skd is 17 so I am using MapFragment.
AndroidManifest.xml

android:protectionLevel="signature" />
<uses-permission android:name="com.dashboard.Activity.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>

activity_main.xml
<fragment android:id="@+id/map"
android:name="com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment"
android:layout_width="match_parent"

Activity.java
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); //App crashes here
}

It is a known Google Map issue and it's observed when the device is in low memory condition. Google Map tries to create a file which fails in this case and MapFragment class can't be inflated.
Insert an SD card in Karbon spark(Android 5.1.1 ) device and the problem will not be observed. Google is still working on this issue and Fix is not available yet.
