Using try/catch for preventing app from crashes

Question

I have been working on an Android app which uses try/catch frequently to prevent it from crashing even on places where there is no need. For example,

A view

Answer 1

I have been developing android apps for the past 4-5 years and never used a try catch for view initialisation.

If its a toolbar do like this

Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);

eg:- To get a TextView from a view(fragment/dialog/any custom view)

TextView textview = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.viewId);

TextView textview = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.viewId);

instead of this

View view = findViewById(R.id.toolbar);

A view object has minimum reach compared to its real view type.

Note:- May be it crashed because the view was loaded. But adding try catch is a bad practice.
