|
### VirtualMachineError
Added in[API level 24](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public VirtualMachineError (String message,
Throwable cause)
```
Constructs a`VirtualMachineError`with the specified detail message and cause.
Note that the detail message associated with`cause`is*not*automatically incorporated in this error's detail message.
| Parameters ||
|-----------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `message` | `String`: the detail message (which is saved for later retrieval by the[Throwable.getMessage()](https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Throwable#getMessage())method).
|
| `cause` | `Throwable`: the cause (which is saved for later retrieval by the[Throwable.getCause()](https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Throwable#getCause())method). (A`null`value is permitted, and indicates that the cause is nonexistent or unknown.)
