## Public methods

### getCause

Added in [API level 31](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)

```
public Throwable getCause ()
```

Returns the cause of this throwable or `null` if the cause is nonexistent or unknown. (The cause is the throwable that caused this throwable to get thrown.)

This implementation returns the cause that was supplied via one of the constructors requiring a `Throwable`, or that was set after creation with the `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Throwable#initCause(java.lang.Throwable)` method. While it is typically unnecessary to override this method, a subclass can override it to return a cause set by some other means. This is appropriate for a "legacy chained throwable" that predates the addition of chained exceptions to `Throwable`. Note that it is *not* necessary to override any of the `PrintStackTrace` methods, all of which invoke the `getCause` method to determine the cause of a throwable.
