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?

Put this line of code in your main activity when you want to kill your app- android.os.Process.killProcess(android.os.Process.myPid()); — Aishwarya Tiwari, Mar 29 '17 at 10:10

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

Kotlin's Preconditions.kt file includes an error(message: Any) function that, in turn, throws an IllegalStateException[1].

As long as you're not swallowing the exception, it should kill the app much like fatalError().
