To be able to catch any exception you may encounter that isn’t part of a try-catch-clause, you can use the\u00a0Thread.setDefaultUncaughtExceptionHandler( Thread. UncaughtExceptionHandler )<\/a> method.<\/p>\n

In the handler you can then perform whatever action you want. Don’t forget to call “System.exit()<\/a>” though,\u00a0because otherwise this won’t work!<\/p>\n

A simple example:<\/p>\n
