We use your lib in our application and it works pretty good in most cases. Great Work! But it seems like the initialization fails in certain cases wich leads to an IllegalStateException:

Fatal Exception: java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to create application com.newsenselab.android.m_sense.MsenseApplicationRelease: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unknown URL content://com.newsenselab.android.m_sense.PREFFERENCE_AUTHORITY/key/type

This issue is not reproducible for us but it happens a from time to time in production as Crashlytics tells us.

I found an issue report on google about that sounds pretty close: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=226137&sort=-id&colspec=ID%20Type%20Status%20Owner%20Summary%20Sta#makechanges

I was thinking if it may fails because the applications oncreate method might be to early in the Application Lifecycle. But since its not possible to reproduce the issue for us its hard to tell.

So if one of you experience a similar problem or has an idea how to tackle this problem i appreciate any help.

Best regards
