I am extending LinearLayout to have an easy way of building lists with header and footer views. While doing this, I want to maintain the LinearLayout's API (e.g. XML-added views). To do this, I have to override <LinearLayout#getVirtualChildAt(int)> and <LinearLayout#getVirtualChildCount()>. These methods even state per source comment that they are meant to be overridden. The visibility of these methods is not <protected> but <default>, thus they have to be overridden with a <public> modifier and cannot be annotated with <@Override>.
Should my solution be considered API-abuse or should I consider the package visibility a bug in <LinearLayout>? Any more elegant solutions for building lists with with header / footer elements? (ListView won't work because I may need multiple lists in one scrollable layout). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
