Using try/catch for preventing app from crashes

Question

I have been working on an Android app which uses try/catch frequently to prevent it from crashing even on places where there is no need. For example,

A view

Answer 1

Yes, try/catch is used to prevent app from crashing but You certainly don't need try/catch for fetching a view from XML as depicted in your question.

try/catch is generally used while making any http request, while parsing any String to URL, creating URL connections, etc. and also make sure to print stack trace. Not printing it doesn't make much sense in surrounding it with try/catch.
