How to propagate an exception in java

Question

I am a C programmer and just learning some java recently because I am developing one android application. Currently I am in a situation. Following is the one.

Answer 1

I always do it like this :

public void MyMethod() throws Exception
{
    //code here
    if(something is wrong)
        throw new Exception("Something wrong");
}

then when you call the function

try{
    MyMethod();
   }catch(Exception e){
    System.out.println(e.getMessage());
}
