Ошибка unfortunately has stopped

Операционная система Android иногда преподносит пользователям смартфонов и планшетов проблемы в виде разных ошибок. Одна из них, Unfortunately [название программы] has stopped, возникает при включении или в процессе работы разных мобильных приложений.   

Причина появления ошибки

Ошибка Unfortunately android has stopped говорит об остановке работающего или запускаемого приложения. Происходит это при использовании камеры, Google Play, приложений социальных сетей (Вконтакте, Facebook, Instagram и пр.), а также многих других программ или мобильных игр.

Причины связаны в некорректным функционированием конкретного приложения или его конфликтами с другим установленным программным обеспечением. Избавиться от ошибки Unfortunately [название программы] has stopped можно разными способами.

Очистка памяти

Требовательные к ресурсам приложения могут выдавать ошибку, когда занята вся оперативная память мобильного устройства. Откройте диспетчер задач и закройте все запущенные в фоновом режиме приложения. В зависимости от версии Android, эта операция может быть выполнена по-разному. Обычно диспетчер задач запускается кнопкой в нижней части экрана или на корпусе телефона, после чего остается нажать на «Закрыть все».

Перезагрузка устройства

Если самый простой метод не помог, перезагрузите свой смартфон или планшет. После этого попробуйте запустить проблемное приложение. Если ошибка снова появится, переходите к следующему шагу.

Очистка кэша

Перейдите в «Настройки» и найдите пункт «Приложения». Отыщите в списке программу, которая выдает ошибку Unfortunately [название android-приложения] has stopped, и нажмите на нее. На экране появится информация о приложении, а вам нужно проделать следующее:

1. Найти пункт «Память» и нажать на него.
2. Нажать кнопку «Очистить данные», а затем подтвердить их удаление.
3. Нажать кнопку «Очистить кэш», и тоже подтвердить операцию.

После этих действий попробуйте снова запустить приложение и проверить его работоспособность.

Автор считает, что эти материалы могут вам помочь:

Переустановка приложения

Следующий шаг, если три предыдущих не помогли, заключается в переустановке программы. Откройте Google Play и перейдите в «Мои приложения». Найдите в списке нужную программу и нажмите на кнопку «Удалить».

Подтвердите удаление, а после этого перезагрузите смартфон и установите приложение заново, проделав те же операции, но вместо кнопки «Удалить» в Google Play нужно нажать на «Установить».

Сброс данных

Переходим в «Настройки» и находим пункт «Общие настройки». В нем нас интересует «Сброс», где нужно выбрать «Сброс данных». Это самый действенный метод решения проблемы, при котором с устройства удалится вся информация, в том числе установленные приложения и файлы.

Вам придется настраивать все заново (на устройстве установятся заводские настройки). Если и после таких действий при запуске или работе приложения будет появляться ошибка Unfortunately [название программы] has stopped, проблема не в вашем телефоне, а в программном обеспечении.

Каждый раз, когда вы делитесь этой статьей в социальной сети, ее автор становится немного счастливее! Пожалуйста нажмите на одну из кнопок выше!

Наверняка вам уже приходилось сталкиваться с ситуациями в работе приложений, когда они внезапно закрываются и перестают отвечать. В этой статье рассмотрены основные способы устранения ошибки «Unfortunately, App has stopped».

Способы решения:

1. Попробуйте почистить хранилище приложения.
2. Перезагрузите телефон.
3. Проверьте карту памяти (если она у вас есть).
4. Удалите приложение и установите его снова.
5. Последний шанс: сброс до заводских настроек.

↑

Почистите хранилище приложения

Такое может произойти, когда приложение работает с контактами и фотографиями. Способ устранения ошибок довольно обычный:

• откройте Настройки на телефоне;
• теперь откройте Приложения и Оповещения, а после — информацию о приложении;
• выберите приложение с ошибкой;
• потом кликните по Хранилищу;
• здесь можно очистить кэш и данные.

Когда вы чистите кэш, все сохраненные данные этого приложения удаляются. При первом открытии приложение будет запускаться немного медленнее, потому что вы только что удалили то, что помогало ему работать быстрее.

Когда вы чистите данные, то уничтожаются все файлы, настройки и аккаунты. Будьте аккуратнее с этим, могут исчезнуть данные, которые вам необходимы.

↑

Перезагрузка устройства – быстро, легко и надежно

Просто перезагрузите телефон, это часто помогает в непонятных ситуациях, когда нет видимых причин для возникновения проблемы. Перезагрузку хорошо делать иногда для профилактики. Когда телефон включен долгое время, могут возникать различные ошибки, которые замедляют его работу. Перезагрузка помогает справиться с такой неприятностью.

↑

Проверьте карту памяти (если она у вас есть)

Карта памяти может быть причиной не только этой ошибки, но и ряда других. Если причина в ней, то любое приложение, которое работает с данными на карте памяти, будет сообщать о проблемах.

Это можно легко проверить, удалив карту памяти из телефона и запустив приложение. Если карта стала причиной проблемы, тогда придется купить новую карту.

↑

Удалите приложение и установите его снова

Можно попробовать удалить приложение из телефона, а потом скачать и установить его из Google Play. Для этого нужно зайти в каталог, открыть меню с левой стороны экрана и выбрать Мои приложения и игры. Найдите приложение с ошибкой и нажмите Удалить. Приложение должно удалиться вместе со всеми ошибками, а потом его можно снова установить «с нуля».

↑

Последний шанс: сброс до заводских настроек

Если все другие варианты не сработали, тогда можно попробовать сделать сброс до заводских настроек. Это сотрет все данные на телефоне, поэтому сначала желательно забэкапить данные. Сброс до заводских настроек сотрет все ошибки, включая «Unfortunately, App has stopped», и все данные вместе с ними. Однако если сделать бэкап, то можно всё быстро и легко восстановить.

If you are an Android user then you might have faced app crashes on your phone at some point in its life.

I am sharing here a few ways to fix the ‘Unfortunately, app has stopped’ error on Android.

Fix Unfortunately App Has Stopped Error on Android

You can try the following fixes if an app installed on your Android phone crashes, won’t open, won’t respond, or isn’t working properly.

1. Restart Your Phone

As mentioned in most of the troubleshooting tips, restarting your smartphone can do wonders most of the time. So if an app is causing trouble, simply restart the phone.

• On most Android phones, pressing the Power button for about 30 seconds will show up some options.
• Tap on Restart.

After that, open that faulty app and see if it works now.

2. Force Stop the App

The next thing that you can try in such cases is to force stop the app and then open it again. You can force stop an app through its Settings or your phone’s Settings.

• Open the Settings on your phone
• Go to App & Notifications and tap See all apps.
• Here select the app that is causing the issue.
• On the App info page, tap on Force stop.

Or you can directly tap & hold on to any app icon and go to App info. After force stop, open the app again to see if it works now.

3. Update the App

If force-stopping the app doesn’t work, you can check if the said app has any pending updates. Here’s how to check this:

• On your phone, open the Google Play Store.
• Tap on your profile picture on the top right corner and then select My apps & games.
• Here, it will show apps with available updates.
• If the faulty app’s update is available, tap Update next to it.

We recommend you should tap Update all so that all the apps work well and have the latest features as well.

4. Clear App Cache & Data

Clearing cache and data for any app also works in many cases when it suffers from any such issue. You can clear an app’s cache and data through Settings, and it may vary for different phones.

• Go to Settings > Apps & notifications
• Select the app with the issue and tap on Storage & cache.
• Tap on Clear cache.
• Restart your phone and see if the issue is fixed.

If the issue still continues, you can also clear the data of the app by tapping on Clear data. Please note that clearing the data may delete some data from some apps so make sure to have the backup of that app data.

This is a temporary solution and cached data build-ups again.

5. Uninstall Android System WebView update

Back in March, some Android users faced multiple apps crashing issues. One method that worked for those people involved uninstalling a recent Android System WebView update. Here’s how you can do it on your phone. Note that these steps may vary on different phones.

• Go to Settings and tap Apps & Notifications.
• Here, tap on See all apps and you will see the list of all the installed apps.
• Look for the Android System Web view and tap on it.
• Tap the three dots on the top right corner and then tap on Uninstall updates.
• On the pop-up box, tap OK.

On most Android phones, this should fix the app crashing issue.

6. Sync Your Phone with Google Servers

Sometimes when your phone’s date and time is not synced with Google servers then it may issue like some app crashing. Here’s how to sync your phone to the Google server:

• Open your phone’s Settings and go to System.
• Select Date & Time and turn off Automatic Time Zone or Use network-provided time zone here.
• After that, enter the incorrect date and time.
• Again turn on Use Network provided Time Zone.

Restart your phone and then check the app that was causing the issue.

7. Uninstall and Reinstall the App

If the app that is causing the issue is not a system or default app, you can also try uninstalling it. After that, reinstall it from the Google Play Store. We assume that you might know how to uninstall an app. In order to uninstall an app that you are not able to, you can follow our guide on “Remove Apps That Phone Won’t Let You Uninstall”.

8. Some Bonus Tips

i) You can also check if your phone has some pending software update as this may also cause some issues on your apps. Go to Settings> System> Advanced> System update to check the same. If there’s an update available, tap on update to install it.

ii) The app crashing error can also be related to a corrupted memory card. If your app is saved in the memory card and if it’s corrupted, then the app will face the error. In order to check this, remove the memory card and launch the app on your phone. If it works then, you know who to blame now.

iii) When all of the above solutions fail, you can try the last resort i.e. factory resetting your phone. Please make sure to back up all of your phone data before doing this as it deletes all apps and their data.

Hope you may have fixed the “unfortunately app has stopped” error on Android by following these fixes. If you tried all the troubleshooting methods above but still have the issue, you can contact Google or the app developer via the app’s page on Play Store.

Note: This answer is using Android Studio 2.2.2

Note 2: I am considering that your device is successfully connected.

The first thing you do when your application crashes is looking into the LogCat, at the bottom of Android Studio there’s a toolbar with a list of menus:

Click on the «Android Monitor» (The one I underlined in the image above. ^)

Now, you’ll get something like this:

Change «Verbose» to «Error» Now it will only show you logged errors. Don’t worry about all these errors (if you got them) now.

Ok. Now, do what you did to crash your app. After your app crashes, go to your logcat. You should find a new crash log that has a lot of at:x.x.x: and Caused by: TrumpIsPresidentException for example. Go to that Caused by: statement in your logcat.

Next to that Caused By:, there should be the Exception that happened. In my case, it’s a RuntimeException and under it there should be a line that contains a blue link such as:

If that Caused by: DOESN’T have a line with a blue text somewhere under it, then look for another Caused by: that does.

Click on that blue link. It should take you to where the problem occurred. In my case, it was due to this line:

throw new RuntimeException();

So, now I know why it’s crashing. It’s because I’m throwing the exception myself. This was an obvious error.

However, let’s say I got another error:

java.lang.NullPointerException

I checked my logcat, I clicked on the blue link it gave me, and it took me here:

mTextView.setText(myString);

So, now I want to debug. According to this StackOverflow question, a NullPointerException says that something is null.

So, let’s find out what is null. There are two possibilities. Either mTextView is null, or myString is null. To find out, before the mTextView.setText(mString) line, I add these two lines:

Log.d("AppDebug","mTextView is null: " + String.valueOf(mTextView == null);
Log.d("AppDebug","myString is null: " + String.valueOf(myString== null);

Now, like we did previously (We changed Verose to Error), we want to change «Error» to «Debug». Since we’re logging by debugging. Here are all the Log methods:

Log.
  d means Debug
  e means error
  w means warning
  v means verbose
  i means information
  wtf means "What a terrible failure". This is similar to Log.e

So, since we used Log.d, we’re checking in Debug. That’s why we changed it to debug.

Notice Log.d has a first parameter,in our case «AppDebug». Click on the «No Filters» drop down menu on the top-right of the logcat. Select «Edit Filter Configuration», give a name to your filter, and in «Log Tag» put «App Debug». Click «OK». Now, you should see two lines in the logcat:

yourPackageNameAndApp: mTextView is null: true
yourPackageNameAndApp: myString is null: false

So now we know that mTextView is null.

I observe my code, now I notice something.

I have private TextView mTextView declared at the top of my class. But, I’m not defining it.

Basically, I forgot to do this in my onCreate():

mTextView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textview_id_in_xml);

So THAT’S why mTextView is null, because I forgot to tell my app what it is. So I add that line, run my app, and now the app doesn’t crash.

Do you get the following message when an app crashes? «Unfortunately, Google keeps stopping», «unfortunately, Facebook has stopped», or «unfortunately, WhatsApp has stopped»? Actually, the particular app doesn’t matter, any app can suffer from this misfortune and give a similar message. But there are ways to solve it. Here’s how to fix «Unfortunately, the app has stopped» errors. 

Доброго времени суток.Недавно начал заниматься firebase и запустил проект.Но у меня выскочила ошибка Unfortunately MyApplication,has stopped.Вот код:

So, the error «Unfortunately the process com.android.phone has stopped» should no longer appear while using your Android phone next time.

Note: This answer is using Android Studio 2.2.2

Note 2: I am considering that your device is successfully connected.

The first thing you do when your application crashes is looking into the LogCat, at the bottom of Android Studio there’s a toolbar with a list of menus:

Click on the «Android Monitor» (The one I underlined in the image above. ^)

Now, you’ll get something like this:

Ok. Now, do what you did to crash your app. After your app crashes, go to your logcat. You should find a new crash log that has a lot of at:x.x.x: and Caused by: TrumpIsPresidentException for example. Go to that Caused by: statement in your logcat.

If that Caused by: DOESN’T have a line with a blue text somewhere under it, then look for another Caused by: that does.

Click on that blue link. It should take you to where the problem occurred. In my case, it was due to this line:

throw new RuntimeException();

So, now I know why it’s crashing. It’s because I’m throwing the exception myself. This was an obvious error.

However, let’s say I got another error:

java.lang.NullPointerException

I checked my logcat, I clicked on the blue link it gave me, and it took me here:

mTextView.setText(myString);

So, now I want to debug. According to this StackOverflow question, a NullPointerException says that something is null.

So, let’s find out what is null. There are two possibilities. Either mTextView is null, or myString is null. To find out, before the mTextView.setText(mString) line, I add these two lines:

Log.d("AppDebug","mTextView is null: " + String.valueOf(mTextView == null);
Log.d("AppDebug","myString is null: " + String.valueOf(myString== null);

Now, like we did previously (We changed Verose to Error), we want to change «Error» to «Debug». Since we’re logging by debugging. Here are all the Log methods:

Log.
  d means Debug
  e means error
  w means warning
  v means verbose
  i means information
  wtf means "What a terrible failure". This is similar to Log.e

So, since we used Log.d, we’re checking in Debug. That’s why we changed it to debug.

Notice Log.d has a first parameter,in our case «AppDebug». Click on the «No Filters» drop down menu on the top-right of the logcat. Select «Edit Filter Configuration», give a name to your filter, and in «Log Tag» put «App Debug». Click «OK». Now, you should see two lines in the logcat:

yourPackageNameAndApp: mTextView is null: true
yourPackageNameAndApp: myString is null: false

So now we know that mTextView is null.

I observe my code, now I notice something.

I have private TextView mTextView declared at the top of my class. But, I’m not defining it.

Basically, I forgot to do this in my onCreate():

mTextView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textview_id_in_xml);

So THAT’S why mTextView is null, because I forgot to tell my app what it is. So I add that line, run my app, and now the app doesn’t crash.
