Oh, I forgot my test program:
-----------------------------------------
package test.exceptiontest;
import java.lang.Thread.UncaughtExceptionHandler;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.util.Log;
public class ExceptionTest extends Activity {
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
MyExceptionHandler handler = new MyExceptionHandler
(Thread.getDefaultUncaughtExceptionHandler());
Thread.setDefaultUncaughtExceptionHandler(handler);
//
// Exception handled correctly:
//
Thread t = new Thread() {
@Override
public void run()
{
throw new OutOfMemoryError("i am some nasty
exception");
}
};
t.start();
//
// Exception jams UI:
//
throw new OutOfMemoryError("i am some nasty exception");
}
private class MyExceptionHandler implements UncaughtExceptionHandler
{
private UncaughtExceptionHandler oldHandler;
MyExceptionHandler(UncaughtExceptionHandler oldHandler) {
this.oldHandler = oldHandler;
}
@Override
public void uncaughtException(Thread thread, Throwable
throwable) {
Log.d("Debug", "Caught exception: " +
throwable.getClass().getName
() + ": " + throwable.getMessage());
//
// This would use the default platform exception
handler:
//
// oldHandler.uncaughtException(thread, throwable);
}
}
}
