10 years ago I looked at the exception in Robospice and I see it's a deliberately thrown exception if an attempt is made to stop the service when it's already running. I cannot see why this is happening as I'm just using the sample code provided in my base activity. The app does open two activities in quick succession sometimes so maybe it's a timing issue.
@Override
protected void onStop() {
spiceManager.shouldStop();
super.onStop();
}I've wrapped it in a check to stop the exceptions which hopefully isn't covering up undesirable behaviour:
@Override
protected void onStop() {
if (spiceManager.isStarted()) {
spiceManager.shouldStop();
}
super.onStop();
}I don't understand why if someone tries to stop the service when it's not running that the method has to throw an exception - why not just silently fail? But although I don't know why it's implemented this way, I expect it's by design rather than a bug.

In testing our app it crashed on one occasion with the exception below. Although it occurred within Robospice itself I'm unsure if this is a bug in RS or a result of something about the app itself.
Could it be relevant that the activity (Launcher) mentioned is an activity alias defined in the manifest (only)? The exception has only occurred once and I've not been able to re-create it at this stage.
