Thank you for taking the time to respond. The only reason I catch Throwable is that the code is shared with BlackBerry and catching Throwable will generate a stack trace where Exception won't It's some kind of optimization.

I just tried wrapping the exception in RuntimeException and it works. Cool bananas! Thank you.

The stacktrace you are seeing is that raised by executing Assert#fail.
It is not your original Exception.

1) You should probably not be catching Throwable. Catch the explicit
checked exception thrown by m_TheGame#load()

2) If you want your original Exception to get propagated wrap it in a
RuntimeException, ie
   throw new RuntimeException(caughtExcetion);

3) You shouldn't be using junit.framework.Assert#fail in production
code. It should only be using from a test harness.

Hello,

I am finding the Android Market crash reports to be an unbelievably
useful tool!  Unfortunately I am having issues with exceptions that
happen off the main thread.  Since I am a C programmer, I dropped an
assert down to get the game to stop.  Clearly I am not a Java expert.
Is there some way I can get the stack trace of the offending thread?

m_LoadThread = new Thread( new Runnable()
{
     public void run()
     {
         try
         {
             m_TheGame.load();
         }
         catch( Throwable t )
         {
             t.printStackTrace();
             junit.framework.Assert.fail( "LoadingMode.LoadThread: " +
t.toString() );
         }
     }

} );

m_LoadThread.start();

This is what I get in the report.  It's better than nothing but more
would be good.

junit.framework.AssertionFailedError: LoadingMode.LoadThread:
java.lang.NullPointerException
   at junit.framework.Assert.fail(Assert.java:47)
   at com.lonedwarfgames.tanks.utils.Assert.RIP(Assert.java:82)
   at com.lonedwarfgames.tanks.modes.LoadingMode$1.run(LoadingMode.java:

   at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:1096)
