In this code will someVar be set even if the catch block is executed and the second Exception is thrown?
public void someFunction() throws Exception {
try {
//CODE HERE
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e(TAG, "", e);
throw new Exception(e);
} finally {
this.someVar= true;
}
}
Yes, the finally blocks always runs... except when:
System.exit(0);Additionally, if a method in your finally block throws an uncaught exception, then nothing after that will be executed (i.e. the exception will be thrown as it would in any other code). A very common case where this happens is java.sql.Connection.close().
As an aside, I am guessing that the code sample you have used is merely an example, but be careful of putting actual logic inside a finally block. The finally block is intended for resource clean-up (closing DB connections, releasing file handles etc), not for must-run logic. If it must-run do it before the try-catch block, away from something that could throw an exception, as your intention is almost certainly functionally the same.
