Hi Dianne,
Thanks for replying. I want to create custom GUI components and access things like View.mScrollX which has no setFunction (to create a horizontally scrolling view), and mBGDrawable which does have a set function - but that does a whole heap of stuff I don't want it to do. Essentially with the second option, I would like to have an image button using all of the standard background drawables (but hide only the default standard enabled state image). I can't find API's that let me do any of this cleanly. The only way I can currently find is to intercept the draw function and hide the background temporarily. It would be nicer to be able to either create my own StateListDrawable using the existing button background drawables (which are not public) or else have a removeState function in the StateListDrawable. So essentially you are saying I shouldn't be doing this??? Cheers, Peter. ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Dianne Hackborn Sent: Tuesday, 28 April 2009 1:02 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [android-developers] Re: Compiling against a *REAL* android.jar in eclipse??? Don't do that. If you aren't writing an app but system code, use the platform build system.

Under the standard SDK's, android.jar is only a stub and so access to the protected member variables is not found. (And also all classes tagged as {hide} are hidden) Does anyone know of an easy way to get around/FIX this without going linux?
