Crash with agent avatar

[dennis-montana]

Hi LivePerson,

We have a crash using the latest Android SDK (3.6.1) or earlier when an agent is using an avatar. This is not happening on all devices, but we are able reproduce it using an Android 6.0 (LG G5) and Android 8.0 (Nexus 5X) phone using the demo app.
The image we used:

The crash happens instantly when we open the conversation in an activity and the history is loaded.

This is the exception we get:

com.liveperson.sample.app E/AndroidRuntime: FATAL EXCEPTION: main
