"Unfortunately, myapp has stopped" - change message?

Question

My app crashes due to a runtime exception - I know what is causing it, so I can catch the exception. However, I don't really mind if the app closes (the reason behind the crash is pretty cut and dry)... I just want to be able to tell the user why it crashed.

Is it possible to change that error message?

You should catch the exception and show your own dialog box.

You can show some excpetions, but if it's a RuntimeException the app will crash inevitably. You need to do a little tweak to handle exceptions differently. Check this answer.
