Catch UnsatisfiedLinkError Exception

[Pascal Merle]

I would like to optionally add native code. If there is no library for
the platform that my application is run it should work without the
additional code.

That what I tried:
try {
System.loadLibrary("mylib");
loaded = true;
} catch (Exception e) {
}

However the application still crashes if the library is not present.
How can I detect if the library is loadable for the target platform?

UnsatisfiedLinkError isn't actually an Exception. You probably want to catch Throwable, which covers Errors and Exceptions.

Better yet, catch UnsatisfiedLinkError, which will handle the specific
situation without also ignoring other potential problems.
