Answer 3

Strange! But let me share my experience, maybe it can help someone!

Was working on an Android app that was previously being run without any issues. After I rest my Android device and on the first install of App after the reset. I got this exception java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError

1. I uninstalled the app
2. Cleaned the project
3. Rebuild the project

After that when I ran the app the exception was gone.

I don't know what happened, but the above steps just solved the issue.
