JSONException not caught

Question

I have this piece of code:

HJRestClient.post(path, params, new JsonHttpResponseHandler() {
        @Override
        public void onSuccess(int statusCode, Header[] headers, JSONObject response) {

            try {
                JSONArray array = response.getJSONArray("tags");
                if (adDetailViewAdapter != null) {
                    adDetailViewAdapter.setTags(array);
                }
            } catch (JSONException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }

        }
    });

It is crashing on the line JSONArray array = response.getJSONArray("tags"); with exception W/System.err: org.json.JSONException: No value for tags

While I have written code for catching the exception, it's not getting caught and causing the app to crash.

I have 2 devices Samsung Galaxy Note 5 with Android v6.0.1 in which the exception is caught successfully.

Another Huawei Mate 7 with Android v4.4.2 in which the exception is not getting caught and causing a crash.

I also wrote:

catch (Exception exception) {}

but still it's getting crashed.

Any help?

You should this way:

HJRestClient.post(path, params, new JsonHttpResponseHandler() {
        @Override
        public void onSuccess(int statusCode, Header[] headers, JSONObject response) {
            try {
                if(response!=null&&response.has("tags")){
                    JSONArray array = response.getJSONArray("tags");
                    if (adDetailViewAdapter != null) {
                        adDetailViewAdapter.setTags(array);
                    }
                }

            } catch (JSONException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }

        }
    });

Hope this will help you.
