I have an app that ran just fine on KitKat but when upgrading my phone to API21 (Lollipop), I'm getting this strange failure. I'm thinking it's a google bug, but wanted to know if anyone else had seen it and found a workaround? I'm performing the following simple piece of code (my class extends SupportMapFragment, fyi):
public CameraPosition getCurrentCameraPosition() {
return mMap != null ? mMap.getCameraPosition() : null;
}
Yet the mMap.getCameraPosition() is causing this exception:

And in case you're wondering why I'm using a member variable to reference the GoogleMap instead of getMap().... I was using getMap() here but after the upgrade to Lollipop, that started returning null (despite it returning a proper GoogleMap in onCreateView).
I'm now guessing it was returning null because it ran into this OutOfMemoryException, caught it in a catch block, and returned null.
