title: NoSuchMethodError in google maps api android
body: <p>I am encountering frequent crashes of my app on devices running Android 2.3.x lately. They all boil down to the following stacktrace with the Google Maps API.
  My app requires a minimum SDK version of 10 and includes the compat libraries v3 and v7 (via a library project). Interestingly enough it actually works on my test device running Android 2.3.6 so it does not crash on all old devices. On all newer Androids it works of course without a problem.
  To my understanding this should not crash because the compat library adds this specific method <code>requestSendAccessibilityEvent</code> which has been added in API level 14.</p>
