android app crashes before restarting

My android app keeps crashing before restarting again automatically. When it crashes (after I press Run) the log cat is,

It takes about 5 seconds before it comes back.

I have tried to research bits of the logcat but have many mixed results.

Is there any tips to make it work without crashing on runtime.

The problem was, I was performing all the main functionality on the main GUI thread.

I did multi-threading, now it works.

Also one of the reasons it crashed on the AVD was the memory on it was small, before multi-threading, on an actual device it had no issues.
