DeadSystemException The core Android system has died and is going through a runtime restart.

Public methods

rethrowAsRuntimeException

Added in API level 30
public RuntimeException rethrowAsRuntimeException ()

Rethrow this as an unchecked runtime exception.

Apps making calls into other processes may end up persisting internal state or making security decisions based on the perceived success or failure of a call, or any default values returned. For this reason, we want to strongly throw when there was trouble with the transaction.

Returns
RuntimeException This value cannot be null.

Throws
java.lang.RuntimeException

rethrowFromSystemServer

Added in API level 30
public RuntimeException rethrowFromSystemServer ()

Rethrow this exception when we know it came from the system server. This gives us an opportunity to throw a nice clean DeadSystemRuntimeException signal to avoid spamming logs with misleading stack traces.

Apps making calls into the system server may end up persisting internal state or making security decisions based on the perceived success or failure of a call, or any default values returned. For this reason, we want to strongly throw when there was trouble with the transaction.

Returns
RuntimeException This value cannot be null.

Throws
java.lang.RuntimeException
