[android-beginners] Re: using an API not in the SDK
There is no procedure; whatever means you find to achieve this would break
when the system is updated over the air with changes that modify/remove the
non-public API
(and believe me, internal changes between releases are *very* numerous).
Then your users will start to hate you and give you 1-star ratings, etc...

Hello,

add the class to my project and call it via createsubprocess(), it
compiles fine but i get a force close as soon as it tries to run on
