React-native-track-player: [BUG] App crashed on android 5.0.1

[mnlbox]

@Guichaguri This component still not working on android 5.0.1 (Huawei P8 Lite)
When we use TrackPlayer in a page and navigate to that page my app closed without any error. (I also check log-android output many times)
Have you any plan to fix it? :disappointed:

Maybe related: #100, #125 and https://github.com/tanguyantoine/react-native-music-control/pull/129/files

I also try @ariona notes to fix this by change this line:
https://github.com/react-native-kit/react-native-track-player/blob/b096fa7bddf0b65da42c86d75016a66ad25f3d9e/android/src/main/java/guichaguri/trackplayer/metadata/Metadata.java#L119

to

       if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT > 19) {
             md.putRating(MediaMetadataCompat.METADATA_KEY_RATING, track.rating);
        }

But it's still not working.
Please help me to fix this.

@Guichaguri I test on another device with android 4.4 and my app force close there too :disappointed:

Can you send the full logcat?

@Guichaguri I finally find some useful log in logcat: :wink:

Maybe Related: #144

I am having the same issue on my Android 6.0.1 device. RN 0.48.4 and RNTP 0.2.1. It works smoothly on ios but crashes without any error on Android.

@Guichaguri any news about this?
Please help us to fix and use you module on more device and if not please introduce another alternative from react native community that use rather than you module.
Thanks man :wink:

[Guichaguri]

The problem on the support library. We currently use the same version that react native uses. I started updating it in #165.

[mnlbox]

@Guichaguri Thanks man. It's a very good news.
Now my app crashed with above error on many devices. (Huawei with android 5, Lenovo with android 4.5, LG with android 6, ...)

[ashokkumar88]

For me the crash was causing due to another library which was also using exoplayer. I removed the other library and it worked fine.

Should be solved as part of v1.0.0
