Hello,
I am looking to use a custom View found in the Android source code.
Since it wasn't available in the public API I simply used the source
code to place the widget into my application. The View works
correctly, however, when I tried to make a slight modification within
my package that change did not take effect.
I do understand that using private API classes is considered bad
practice and comes with the high risk of breaking, but I am more
curious as to why the changes made to the class did not take effect in
my package.
The change I implemented to test this was simply dropping a Log.d into
the constructor. Let's assume for this question's sake that I am
constructing the component correctly in Java.
Some code as an example to supplement:
Original class taken from source:
package com.android.internal.widget;
class SampleWidget extends View {
public SampleWidget(Context context, AttributeSet attrs){
super(context, attrs);
// the rest of the constructor
}
// all the required methods to draw this view correctly,
unmodified from original source
}
My modification:
package com.custom.mypackage.widget;
class MySampleWidget extends View {
public MySampleWidget(Context context, AttributeSet attrs){
super(context, attrs);
Log.d("MySampleWidget", "<This output should appear in my
LogCat>");
// the rest of the constructor
}
// all the required methods to draw this view correctly,
unmodified from original source
}
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. If further clarification
is required I would be happy to provide such.
Thank you.
