Reasons for Android App Crashes

An Android user has various apps on his device, these apps can be personal, social or business. While using them, there can be a situation when he experiences crash in the apps. There can be a hundred of reasons why the android app crashes, but the point is that once the app is crashed it won’t work the same as it was doing before. And if you want access to the company information via app, you will face problems to do that because of Android's background process feature, that feature won’t allow you. This feature keeps the app running even after you've closed it, which means the issue that was causing crash would not go anywhere, it would still be there. There is a solution to get your application function correctly, you have to force close the application and restart it.


 Here are most common reasons why the Android applications fail:

1. Demand Exceeds Supply
The case when the app has achieved such a success that millions of android users discover it simultaneously at the same time and the app is not capable enough to handle that pressure, it gets crashed.

2. Network Changes
When an app user switches from cellular networks to Wi-Fi or Wi-Fi to cellular networks, it can cause lost connections and it affects the Application’s stability. That’s certainly not a problem to be solved by the OS but the developers of the apps need to account for this.

3. Incorrect CPU and memory Usage
Compatibility is a main issue while installing apps on the android device, there are many devices that can run the same application but it won’t work as supposed if it’s not getting the required memory and processor.

4. Bandwidth Constraints
Since mobile users expect quick response times, the pipe matters. Whether it's about the inadequate bandwidth or overly large data payloads.

5. Integration Dependencies
What visible to the user is the proper correlation of back-end processes. A good integration between the modules affect the app usability, because the better content you deliver at the front-end the better is the user response.

6. Fatal Bugs in Production
Sometimes, bugs appear when another new feature is added to the existing module of the application. It causes the app to crash.
7. Database Contention.

When an app crashes, poorly optimized and indexed database can be the reason. The user has nothing to do with the database but when he faces no responding from the app, it degrades application’s performance from user perspective.

8. Device Incompatibility
It’s not possible from the developer’s side to test the app on every android device. And an android app fails particularly for a device when it is incompatible
