Error

extends Throwable

java.lang.Object
↳	java.lang.Throwable
	↳	java.lang.Error

Known Direct Subclasses

AnnotationFormatError , AssertionError , AssertionFailedError , CoderMalfunctionError , FactoryConfigurationError , IOError , LinkageError , ServiceConfigurationError , ThreadDeath , TransformerFactoryConfigurationError , VirtualMachineError

AnnotationFormatError	Indicates that an annotation in the binary representation of a class is syntactically incorrect and the annotation parser is unable to process it.
AssertionError	Thrown when an assertion has failed.
AssertionFailedError	This class was deprecated in API level 16. use junit.framework.AssertionFailedError
CoderMalfunctionError	A `CoderMalfunctionError` is thrown when the encoder/decoder is malfunctioning.
FactoryConfigurationError	Thrown when a problem with configuration with the Parser Factories exists.
IOError	This error is thrown when a severe I/O error has happened.
LinkageError	`LinkageError` is the superclass of all error classes that occur when loading and linking class files.
ServiceConfigurationError	Thrown when a service provider can't be loaded by `ServiceLoader` .
ThreadDeath	ThreadDeath is thrown when a thread stops executing.
TransformerFactoryConfigurationError	Thrown when a problem with configuration with the Transformer Factories exists.
VirtualMachineError	`VirtualMachineError` is the superclass of all error classes that occur during the operation of the VM.

Known Indirect Subclasses

AbstractMethodError , AssertionFailedError , ClassCircularityError , ClassFormatError , ComparisonFailure , ExceptionInInitializerError , GenericSignatureFormatError , IllegalAccessError , IncompatibleClassChangeError , InstantiationError , InternalError , NoClassDefFoundError , NoSuchFieldError , NoSuchMethodError , and 6 others.

AbstractMethodError	Thrown by the VM when an abstract method is called.
AssertionFailedError	Thrown when an assertion failed.
ClassCircularityError	Thrown when the VM notices that an attempt is made to load a class which would directly or indirectly inherit from one of its subclasses.
ClassFormatError	Thrown by a class loader when a class file has an illegal format or if the data that it contains can not be interpreted as a class.
ComparisonFailure	Thrown when an assert equals for Strings failed.
ExceptionInInitializerError	Thrown when an exception occurs during class initialization.
GenericSignatureFormatError	Indicates that a malformed signature has been encountered via a reflective method.
IllegalAccessError	Thrown when the VM notices that a program tries access a field which is not accessible from where it is referenced.
IncompatibleClassChangeError	`IncompatibleClassChangeError` is the superclass of all classes which represent errors that occur when inconsistent class files are loaded into the same running image.
InstantiationError	Thrown when the VM notices that a program tries to create a new instance of a class which has no visible constructors from the location where `new` is invoked.
InternalError	Thrown when the VM notices that it has gotten into an undefined state.
NoClassDefFoundError	Thrown when the VM is unable to locate a class which it has been asked to load.
NoSuchFieldError	Thrown when the VM notices that a program tries to reference, on a class or object, a field that does not exist.
NoSuchMethodError	Thrown when the VM notices that a program tries to reference, on a class or object, a method that does not exist.
OutOfMemoryError	Thrown when a request for memory is made that can not be satisfied using the available platform resources.
StackOverflowError	Thrown when the depth of the stack of the running program exceeds some platform or VM specific limit.
UnknownError	Thrown when the VM must throw an error which does not match any known exceptional condition.
UnsatisfiedLinkError	Thrown when an attempt is made to invoke a native for which an implementation could not be found.
UnsupportedClassVersionError	Thrown when an attempt is made to load a class with a format version that is not supported by the VM.
VerifyError	Thrown when the VM notices that an attempt is made to load a class which does not pass the class verification phase.
ZipError	Thrown when an unrecoverable zip error has occurred.

Class Overview

Error is the superclass of all classes that represent unrecoverable errors. When errors are thrown, they should not be caught by application code.

Summary

int	hashCode () Returns an integer hash code for this object.
final void	notify () Causes a thread which is waiting on this object's monitor (by means of calling one of the `wait()` methods) to be woken up.
final void	notifyAll () Causes all threads which are waiting on this object's monitor (by means of calling one of the `wait()` methods) to be woken up.
String	toString () Returns a string containing a concise, human-readable description of this object.
final void	wait () Causes the calling thread to wait until another thread calls the `notify()` or `notifyAll()` method of this object.
