The acore process hosts a number of different components on demand.
It also does not necessarily run all the time.

The first thing you do in diagnosing why a process has terminated
should always be to review the logs, both the main text log and the
event log. There will always be at least some information there about
what happened.

The most common reason for the acore process to go away is that it is
killed by the kernel in order to free up RAM for a foreground
application. This is just like any other application that runs in the
background, and is not an error situation.

Hi Christopher ,

Thanks for reply.

The issue found when am trying to SIM contacts.
And then exporting those to SD card.
And then am trying to edit any contact apps is crashing.

Any pointer how to avoid this. Simply null checked in
packages/apps/Contacts/src/com/android/contacts/ui/EditContactActivity.java
public int compare(EntityDelta one, EntityDelta two)  in this function

int value;
        if (!skipAccountTypeCheck) {
            value = oneSource.accountType.compareTo(twoSource.accountType);
            if (value != 0) {
                return value;
            }

Null check for this oneSource.accountType will resolve the issue but sounds hack to this not real soltion.
        }


Thanks and Regards
Atul
