Hello Mark. Nice to hear from you. I understand your point.
In my particular case, it's almost a desperation move. We invested a lot in our project and at the final stage, we discovered a "bug" in the Android SDK: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=5988 In comment 12 of that thread, a guy from Google itself suggests that we must implement our own contacts editor. So, the easy and fastest way of doing that is to replicate the Android Contacts application, since it's open source and all. BUT, there are some calls to the hidden methods in the SDK from the Contacts app. I want to replicate them. Not use those methods to some other functionality. I think it's acceptable somehow... no? As I said... we're desperate! :) On Jul 29, 9:04 am, Mark Murphy <[email protected]> wrote: > On Thu, Jul 29, 2010 at 4:01 AM, Kwisatz <[email protected]> wrote: > > Is there any way we can access methods annotated with a @hide without > > changing the Android source code? > > Please do not do this.
