Explaining the annotation @VisibleForTesting

[axesh ajmera]

Hi,

I have seen this annotations  @VisibleForTesting  being used in android webview 

But the api's  around which this annotation is used are all public.

I also this annotation being used even in content module. Also this annotation is an interface in "third_party/guava" but nobody uses it.

can somebody please enlighten on usability of this annotation and hwo does it protect the method s along which its wrapped..??

I tried googling around but haven't came across any example or blog which explains the usecase of this annotation

It's an annotation that usually indicates that the method isn't more protected because access is needed for unit tests.
