Ok, understood, these methods are non-public and reserved for Google applications only ;)
Would it be imaginable that (some time in the future) all non-public APIs are in the com.google* domain and not in the same domain as all the public classes (android.*)? Currently it's a little confusing if I look at the source of some Google app and see that it uses (for example) the method lookupProviderCategoryFromId(..) from the class android.provider.Contacts.ContactMethods. Now the public API has a class with the exact same name and package but without the method that Google uses so I always have to manually check if a method or constant exists in the public API documentation when looking through the source code (and after that I have to check if it also exists in the real SDK since the SDK and the API documentation are also not the same). It would be much easier if public and non-public stuff is in separate packages (like com.sun.* in instead of java.* (J2SE)). Just my 2 cents.. And congrats again to the team! :) Tauno On Tue, Oct 21, 2008 at 8:27 PM, hackbod <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > And further than that, people writing third party applications MUST > develop them against the SDK, not against the open source release. > Otherwise you can easily use non-public APIs, and thus break in a > future release. > > On Oct 21, 10:14 am, "Romain Guy" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> It is the same source code.
