Question

I have 5 methods e.g. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. I am calling method2 from method1, method 3 from method2 and so on. Suppose an exception happens in Method5 and I am handling it in the try-catch block, how will I know this in Method1?

Answer 1

You’ll have to set a variable/flag that both method1 and method5 have access to. Something like a field in the same class should work.

private String exceptionHappened = "";

private void method1() {
    method(2);
    // Here I can check value of exceptionHappened
}

//... methods 2-4

private void method5() {
    try {
      // ...
    } catch (Exception e) {
      this.exceptionHappened = "In method 5";
    }
}
