The real error is this one:

Resource "com.example.tanishqshastri_mppolice.jansunwai:drawable/roundstatus" (7f070082) is not a Drawable (color or path): TypedValue{t=0x1/d=0x7f070082 a=-1 r=0x7f070082}

Something in the definition of this drawable object is not compatible with Android 6, I can't help you more than that without more details about that drawable resource

If your app is working fine in android 8 emulator you can't assume that it will be working fine on every previous version of android! If you use an android 6 emulator image the app will crash exactly as with real device
