I'm skeptical that it is fastest or easiest, when you take long-term maintenance into account. > BUT, there are some calls to the > hidden methods in the SDK from the Contacts app. I want to replicate > them.

For example, I don't find it "acceptable" when developers whine "wait, we did something people told us not to do, and now it's broken -- Google sux!" To answer your original question: yes, reflection works. @hide is used when creating the android.jar you get in the SDK, and so reflection is your way past that, at least within the bounds of normal Java rules regarding reflection. That being said, using reflection to break the SDK contract because you don't want to write a GUI is "penny wise, pound foolish" IMHO. But, it's your app. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy _Android Programming Tutorials_ Version 2.9 Available! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
