Java - is it bad practice to do a try/catch inside a try/catch?
exception, java, try-catch
Solution
It's fine, although if your exception handling logic is that complex, you might consider breaking it out into its own function.
Problem
I have some code that I want to execute if an exception happens. But that code can also generate an exception. But I have never seen people do a try/catch inside another try/catch. Is what I am doing poor practice and maybe there is a better way of doing this: ``` Uri uri = Uri.parse("some url"); Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, uri); try { startActivity(intent); } catch (ActivityNotFoundException anfe) { // Make some alert to me // Now try to redirect them to the web version: Uri weburi = Uri.parse("some url"); try { Intent webintent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, weburi); startActivity(webintent); } catch ( Exception e ) { // Make some alert to me } } ``` It seems kind of awkward. Is there something that might be wrong with it?
