# Catch any exception in Android

Here is how you can intercept any exception in android and log it to your external logging system, for better user experience.

```java
final Thread.UncaughtExceptionHandler defaultUncaughtExceptionHandler = 
        Thread.getDefaultUncaughtExceptionHandler();
Thread.setDefaultUncaughtExceptionHandler(new Thread.UncaughtExceptionHandler() {
    @Override
    public void uncaughtException(Thread t, Throwable e) {
        // TODO, implement your logging here
        // ...
        
        // Now re-throw exception so JVM can behave as expected (i.e. crash your app)
        defaultUncaughtExceptionHandler.uncaughtException(t, e);
    }
});
```
