Start activity after crash

Question

For example, my application throws a NullPointerException. How to open the Activity (for example – SendCrashLogActivity, or finished Activity1)? My scenario:

You can reproduce this scenario using small demo application

If it is impossible then application should not be restarted.

Thread.setDefaultUncaughtExceptionHandler (new Thread.UncaughtExceptionHandler()
    {
      @Override
      public void uncaughtException (Thread thread, Throwable e)
      {
           Intent intent = new Intent (getApplicationContext(),DrawView.class);
           startActivity(intent); //after calling this method, my application will be frozen. Android 6
      }
    });

Here's a better idea : instead of spending time coding to recover from crashes, spend the time to improve your code so it doesn't crash... — 2Dee, Dec 18 '15 at 12:59

Use below code after startActivity(intent)

android.os.Process.killProcess(android.os.Process.myPid());
System.exit(10);

If use finish() method the activity is destroyed, so you can not go previous activity. If you want to go previous activity by using intent.

otherwise in manifest file declare like this.

<activity
        android:name=".CusrrentActivity(activity2)"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:parentActivityName=".PreviousAtivity(activity1)"
        android:screenOrientation="portrait" >
        <meta-data
            android:name="android.support.PARENT_ACTIVITY"
            android:value="com.example.PreviousAtivity(activity2)" />
    </activity>

Start activity after crash
