What is empty process in android
It is a process with no running activities, services, or broadcast receivers (and where nothing presently is connected to one of the app's content providers, if any, though this is a fairly obscure case).
what is it’s use
Once upon a time, the process did have activities, services, and/or broadcast receivers. However, those components were destroyed as a part of their normal operation (e.g., a manifest-registered receiver returned from `onReceive()`). Right now, the process is being held onto, just in case that a process for the same app is needed again. Eventually, though, the empty process will be terminated, to free up system RAM for other processes.
I also want to know if as a developer,it's of any use or it's just useful on OS level.
Mostly, it is an OS-level optimization to improve device performance and responsiveness, compared with terminating the process immediately when the last running component was destroyed.
Problem
What is empty process in android and what is it’s use. I have seen empty process in my device sometime and it shows process with 0 services ,0 activities means process with no components inside it . I also want to know if as a developer,it's of any use or it's just useful on OS level.
