1. Best Practices. Why my app closes after a while?

Android system is working very hard to optimize the battery & the CPU.

  1. "Setting:Reset to default values"
  2. Re-install (sometimes the google play automatic update makes troubles)
  3. run Setting:permission wizard.
  4. BVR Pro - Best practice
  5. Don't kill my app
  6. Do you have app that access the camera also? it can be for example camera screen unlock. app accessing the camera will stop the recording.
  7. make sure "Setting:Camera:Camera2API: enabled".
  8. You can set "Setting:Camera2:Restart after recording fail : once" to other value -> it restarts the recording if recording stops.
  9. Try also to lower the resolution because if the device gets warm -> it can cause recording to stop.
  10. Add any of my app's widgets, as expplained on Android best pracitces:
