Public methods

rethrowAsRuntimeException

Added in API level 30

open fun rethrowAsRuntimeException(): RuntimeException

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.

Return
RuntimeException	This value cannot be null.

Exceptions
java.lang.RuntimeException

rethrowFromSystemServer

Added in API level 30

open fun rethrowFromSystemServer(): RuntimeException

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.

Return
RuntimeException	This value cannot be null.
