Google Play Games Services crashses my game when I log out and back in (using GameHelper). I've been through every line of code and I cannot find a single problem (There is no crash when I'm NOT using Google Game Services).
But when I run my game, with BaseGameUtils library, and using GameHelper to log out, when I log back in the Android app crashes everytime with this error:
I've been troubleshooting this crash for 3 days and I'm at a complete loss. Any advice how to troubleshoot or debug this error is appreciated.

final int[] CLICKABLES = new int[] {
R.id.sign_in_button, R.id.sign_out_button

for (int i : CLICKABLES) {
v.findViewById(i).setOnClickListener(this);
}
return v;
}
public void setListener(Listener l) {
mListener = l;
