UncaughtExceptionHandler

Quote

When a thread is about to terminate due to an uncaught exception the Java Virtual Machine will query the thread for its UncaughtExceptionHandler using Thread.getUncaughtExceptionHandler() and will invoke the handler's uncaughtException method, passing the thread and the exception as arguments.

// Keep a reference to the default handler
val default = Thread.getDefaultUncaughtExceptionHandler()

// Override the default handler
Thread.setDefaultUncaughtExceptionHandler { thread: Thread, throwable: Throwable ->
    when (throwable) {
        /* Check if it should be swallowed */
        is MyUncaughtException -> Unit
        /* Otherwise rethrow to the default handler */
        else -> default?.uncaughtException(thread, throwable)
    }
}
