App keeps crashing when Android profiler is used

Question

My app is doing some location tracking and update database when needed, the app has been running 2 days without having any issue. And now I am trying to use the Android Profiler

Answer 1

use this code

button2 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button2);

Answer 2

It perhaps an android studio profile bug. Delete the whole codecache directory in your application data package root path(data/data/pacakge_name/codecache) and retry profile again.

Answer 3

Is your app a fairly sizable project with a large number of classes, potentially with some custom class loader logic?

Once you are able have the steps to reproduce the crash, you can use a tool like logcat to get more information.

Answer 4

signal 6 (SIGABRT), code -6 (SI_TKILL) means the abort was deliberate.

This issue seems to be related: Profiler crashes in libperfa_arm64.so

Answer 5

In Android Studio 4.0 (or higher), the following is the navigation to avoid crashes when running with profiler:

1. From menu click on "Run"
2. Profile 'app'
