Users of smartphones or tablets running the operating system Android often encounter the android.process.media error.
This violation occurs when processing any file specified by the user. If the device is accessing memory in the background, a warning message will appear periodically on the desktop.
What is the reason for this?
There can be two reasons for the violation:
- Error in the download manager.
- Media storage problem.
Usually, a system crash warning means that there is a file with the same name in the internal and external memory. During application startup Android, it searches for the execution path of the required command, referring to both repositories. If the user transferred the program from one memory to another, deleted and reinstalled the software, then the residual files could remain in the device.
