Re: [android-discuss] There are no secret APIs

[Al Sutton]

I posted my view in the comments section. To me the "No private APIs" is just more PR to try and make people think Android is more open than it is, and because Google are trying performing misleading PR like this I, for one, am now taking every word that comes from an official Android source with a pinch of salt.

Anybody tried to power the screen off lately?!? It's a private API. What am I suppose to make of this? Among other things, you're supposed to realize that media quotes are rarely accurate. I can speak from personal experience in this matter. :-( That being said, to the extent his quotes on the subject are verbatim, they suggest that he's an executive, divorced from the reality of the code base. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://twitter.com/commonsguy _Android Programming Tutorials_ Version 2.0 Available! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Discuss" group.
