Is there an Android equivalent to iOS´s (swifts) fatalError()?

Question

If something happens in my app I want to kill the app there and then. In swift I can use fatalError(), is there a java equivalent?

Answer 1

I don't there's any method equivalent to fatalError in Android.

If you want to kill the entire process then you can use android.os.Process.killProcess(android.os.Process.myPid());.

To mimic the same behaviour of fatalError you'll probably have to implement it yourself.

The behaviour you'll need to add besides killing the process is

• to log a message, you can to this by using Log
• print the file and line number, for this you can follow this thread on SO
