The application shows an error on the new device (lollipop), but works fine on my old device (kitkat)

Question

I came across a very unusual error (listed for me because I am new to programming). I developed an application in which mainActivity has a facebook login, and then it goes to MapsActivity.App crashes on any new device with a lollipop, but works fine in my old kitkat device. Here is my activity code and MapsActivity.
