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.

Don't do that.  If you aren't writing an app but system code, use the
platform build system.

Hello everyone,

 

I'd like to be able to extend classes like View and still have access to
the protected member variables.

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?

 

Cheers,

 

Peter.
