Random object is created every time we push the button(in getFact method). So, doesn't it cause our app to stop finally?

If by "finally stop" you mean continually creating new Random objects will cause the phone/tablet/etc. to run out of memory, it won't. Once the getFact() method exits, the object it created is no longer in use because it is only a local variable, and not stored in a member variable, other object or return value. Unused objects are periodically swept up by what is called the Garbage Collector to free them from memory.
