Actually it is not relevant whether this app is opening a lot of files or not. What's troubling is that the entire device is limited to 1024 open files. Take for instance a Galaxy S3 device running 100 apps each opening 10 files concurrently(properties, databases and the like). This is extremely close to the limit.

If you check the max open files limit (/proc/sys/fs/file-max) on most devices it is well over 50K.
