What is ANR in Android & its types

What is ANR?

ANR stands for Application not responding!! It means the User is operating the Android device and there is no response of touch and click, It looks like a hang or stuck which will end with either an ANR Dialogue or Application crash.

As per the user experience, ANR is one of the worst problems which an application can offer to the user for getting frustrated while doing something important.

In general, It is most important while programming the applications that, everything that we implement should not block the UI or create a bad user experience is the primary focus.

Everything that the user does on their device is more important than anything else. So there is zero space for compromising if anything interrupts the user. Asking to close the application or wait for some time for recovery, is what ANR does in between user interactions and this is how ANR can impact the User.
