UrlAssetInfo throw exceptions that can be ignored

UrlAssetInfo has the following code:

public static UrlAssetInfo create(AssetManager assetManager, AssetKey key, URL url) throws IOException {
// Check if URL can be reached. This will throw
// IOException which calling code will handle.
URLConnection conn = url.openConnection();
conn.setUseCaches(false);
InputStream in = conn.getInputStream();

    // For some reason url cannot be reached?
    if (in == null){
        return null;
    }else{
        return new UrlAssetInfo(assetManager, key, url, in);
    }
}

The comments say that calling code will catch IOException. The same class does not throw another example for the same error:

@Override
public InputStream openStream() {
if (in != null){
// Reuse the already existing stream (only once)
InputStream in2 = in;
in = null;
return in2;
}else{
// Create a new stream for subsequent invocations.
try {
URLConnection conn = url.openConnection();
conn.setUseCaches(false);
return conn.getInputStream();
} catch (IOException ex) {
throw new AssetLoadException("Failed to read URL " + url, ex);
}
}
}

If the calling code catches IOException as expected, it will miss the exception thrown by openStream. Will this problem be fixed?

Start with the UrlAssetInfo class and compare create(...) with openStream(), especially their handling of URLConnection.getInputStream() failures. Check the callers that expect IOException and determine the consistent exception behavior required. Done means URL read failures are handled consistently without callers missing the thrown exception.
