When and why should the exception handling mechanism be used through ExceptionHandler?

The exception handling mechanism via ExceptionHandler in Android should be used for centralized interception of unhandled exceptions that could lead to application crashes. This is useful for:

• Logging errors and collecting crash information (e.g., sending error reports to a server).
• Preventing sudden application closure by providing a more user-friendly message or recovery options.
• Performing cleanup operations, such as releasing resources.

Example usage:

class MyApp : Application() {
    override fun onCreate() {
        super.onCreate()
        Thread.setDefaultUncaughtExceptionHandler { thread, throwable ->
            // Log the error
            Log.e("ExceptionHandler", "Uncaught exception in thread ${thread.name}", throwable)
            // You can send an error report
            // Then, you can restart the app or show a dialog
        }
    }
}
