android.net supports many APIs e.g. LinkProperties <http://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/LinkProperties.html> . In code, this class has many public constructors e.g. public LinkAddress(String address) <https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/base/+/master/core/java/android/net/LinkAddress.java#172> but these aren't published at http://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/LinkProperties.html. Any idea why?
The comments on top of these constructors have a @hide which I assume causes the auto generator of documentation to skip these constructors. Does this mean that developers are not supposed to create objects of these classes? If so, how do I actually use these APIs? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
