The top-level function you're calling should indeed only throw those exceptions that are specified in its signature. But if it calls other classes / methods, there could be all kinds of exceptions, including runtime errors (like the one you are facing). The former would be caught and eventualy rethrown as specified by the top-level method, the latter can lead to crashes.
I'd recommend you track down the source for your device's version of HttpURLConnectionImpl.java, and take a look at the method mentioned in the crash. -- Kostya 2011/4/4 manigault <[email protected]> > Hi all, > I faced really nasty problem these days.
