I tried implementing FirebaseListAdapter in my project, but it kept breaking the app. After a long search between commit differences, I found the culprit to be my compile statement in the app build.gradle. Specifically the addition of the Firebase UI dependency:
compile 'com.firebaseui:firebase-ui-database:1.0.1'
My full dependencies also include Firebase auth and Firebase database
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.2.2', {
exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-annotations'
})
compile 'com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk:4.5.0'
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.4.0'
compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:23.4.0'
compile 'com.android.support:design:23.4.0'
testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
compile 'com.android.support.constraint:constraint-layout:1.0.0-beta4'
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-database:10.0.0'
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:10.0.0'
compile 'com.firebaseui:firebase-ui-database:1.0.1'
}
According to the FirebaseUI repo firebase-ui-database:1.0.1
should work with the 10.0.0
dependencies, but I receive the following confusing error trace when launching the app:

Note: I have already commented out all code dependent on the error.
I do not receive this error after commenting out the UI dependency.
