protecting app from crash in native code

My android app is using a native lib that occasionally crashes. Its a 3rd party library provided by a vendor from a different country so fixing the issue at the root is going to be extremely time consuming to say the least.

Is there a way to gracefully catch the exceptions in native code to prevent the entire app from shutting down?

Here's a sample stack trace, not that its really useful.

Thanks.

Write a java signal handler - like the one here - to catch SIGILL/-4 (as that is what your library is throwing).

Have the signal handler throw an exception, this will beautify things somewhat.
