How to test unhandled exception?

Question

I have an Android app for which I would like to save an unhandled exception into the Sqlite DB. I have created all the functionality for saving Error messages into the DB.

My question is, how do I throw unhandled exception?

When I try to do throw new Exception("Save me intodb"), this doesn't work, because I am forced to surround it with try catch.

Any idea how can I actually kill my Android app?

@L.Papadopoulos still won't compile until i surround it with try catch — trixo, Aug 19 '20 at 13:36
Runtime exceptions should do; `throw new IllegalStateException();` — Joop Eggen, Aug 19 '20 at 13:37
You can just put a try/catch, and then give some values that will cause the exception. — LoukasPap, Aug 19 '20 at 13:37
