    }


}

there are no errors. but I can stop it by uninstalling it using ADB

Edit: it works fine after I edit it manually edit in firebase and then open that activity from the main activity.

Is SettingsActivity where you create the profile? Where do you start this activity? — Dan Harms, Jul 13 '19 at 16:50
@dharms, yes the profile is made is settings activity. It is opened by the activity the registers the user. — satyamedh, Jul 13 '19 at 16:57
Your issue may lie in that registration activity. Can you share that code as well? — Dan Harms, Jul 13 '19 at 16:59
Sorry, I'm not seeing anything obvious. Check the rest of your code for anywhere you start the activity. Add logs around each and you should find where that activity is getting launched from. — Dan Harms, Jul 17 '19 at 15:28
@dharms this and main activity are the only activities that can open it. — satyamedh, Jul 18 '19 at 09:54
Are you doing it in onResume or the like in the main activity? Add logging and see what you can find. — Dan Harms, Jul 18 '19 at 16:27

Might be not related answer but whenever you are using any firebase or firestore event try to pass "this("activity context")" as the first parameter it will manage the activity life cycle and will remove you listener when your app will be in background.

Activity opening itself
