Seems like you've opened it in another activity without closing it. See this Stackoverflow answer to learn more.

But I'm closing UART before passing the Intent in every activity and this problem occurs randomly if it occurs always I can consider I forget to Close somewhere even I had the main thread.sleep before passing the Intent but nothing solved this problem.

Where are you closing it? In the activity's onDestroy method? Do you need to architect your application with multiple activities?

I'm closing it before passing the intent like

            try {
                closeUart();
            } catch (IOException e) {
                Log.e(TAG, "Error closing UART device:", e);
            }
            Intent i = new Intent(MainActivity.this,MainActivity2.class);
            String strName = "j";
            i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, strName);
            startActivity(i);
            overridePendingTransition(android.R.anim.fade_in, android.R.anim.fade_out);finish();
            finish();

I'm not closing it in onDestroy method.

Can you add a type of asynchronous wait before starting your activity, like using a Handler:

try {
    closeUart();
} catch (IOException e) {
    Log.e(TAG, "Error closing UART device:", e);
}
h = new Handler(Looper.getMainLooper()) {
    @Override
    public void handleMessage(int what) {
        Intent i = new Intent(MainActivity.this,MainActivity2.class);
        String strName = "j";
        i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, strName);
        startActivity(i);
        overridePendingTransition(android.R.anim.fade_in, android.R.anim.fade_out);finish();
        finish();
    }
};
h.sendEmptyMessageDelayed(0, 50);

(this code wasn't tested, so it may not be completely valid)

I have tried using main thread timer before passing the intent. Like Thread.sleep(1000). This time I'll try your idea let me use handler . Thanks dude
