In the "Introducing JSONObject" video on "Build a weather app" course in android track, the onResponse method throws IOException but is also catching the IOException. Shouldn't the method calling onResponse catch the IOException??

Just letting the library deal with it may sound okay but there was still an error in getting the forecast. It's better for our app deal with the error and take the appropriate action instead of ignoring it. Catching the IOException allows us to do that.

UX Design Techdegree Graduate 30,519 PointsI asked this question because in the same video we are creating another method "getCurrentDetails" that throws json exception. The method calling it "onResponse" is catching the json exception not the method that has a throws keyword (getCurrentDetails).
