What Are Google Apps?

Any Android application runs on its own Linux process.

Is Android Just Linux?

Each process is created for an application when some of its code needs to be run until its use is finished,  the system will then start it all over again for the use of other applications. Any application process does not work under the application instead, a process is connected and works through the system with other parts of that particular application that is running.

It all works with the available memory on the system as you cannot use unlimited applications at a time; there is a limit to the memory. Most commonly the process stops because the user is not using the components correctly, which results in the system interrupting the application’s processes while it’s running. So the system may kill the process at any time to reclaim memory and bring the thread to an end.

Android often manages these processes where you don’t need a task killer just like you have on your Desktop.

In most cases, Android caches the other data of your useful apps in your device’s RAM. But they do misbehave and show up errors on your screen in a dialogue box stating ‘com.google.process.gapps has stopped working.’

For example, you used an app which is not coded properly, then later the process that remains running in the background consumes all your CPU time which in return, effect’s your battery life.

Not just background apps can crash in between due to system memory, most of the time the same dialogue box appears for your contacts on android too. Check this link about unfortunately Contacts has stopped to find out why this happens and how to fix this error.

How Do I Avoid Getting This Error In Future?

To avoid getting your processes automatically killed learn to manage processes manually if you want.

Android 4.0 and further offers a multitasking feature to perform some basic task management.

Now since every device has a different interface, you may find it a little difficult to figure out the multitasking window, or where apps are already open in the background. If you have an Android device, long-press the Home button, or a double-square icon that appears on the bottom of your screen. If you have a Nexus device the multitasking button is already given.

Apps displayed here are running in a background process state. Swipe their windows to the left or right to terminate the process or tap the ‘Close All’ button shown above to instantly remove it from your device’s memory. It helps you to quickly shut down an app if it’s misbehaving, and allows for minimized damage that may be caused by the process.

You can also root your device to escape all the tension. Your Android device will stop running apps in the background, as system root automatically kills unnecessary tasks and processes without crashing the application. You can learn more about rooting in this link below.
