Re: Custom android.jar with hidden api's exposed.

[Ubuntu guy]

hidden apis have @hide in the javadoc section.
If you have access to the platform build, play with it...

@hide apis are a part of android.jar. But only the platform can call to them not applications.
You can delete @hide and build again.

I am making new platform sdk, from the platform build. I found that android.jar created with sdk build contains only public APIs. I wanted all APIs marked as "@hide" also be part of android.jar. I am trying to undersand the build process to tweak doclava. But not able to find any way to change it.

Any idea which make file calls doclava?

Do not use hidden APIs.

[Pratik Prajapati]

There are thousands of @hide APIs. Is there any flag of some option in build system to include them all?

No.
There is a reason why they are hidden.

Briefly: it is a terrible idea to build a custom SDK that exposes
nonstandard APIs. Everything that is marked @hide is subject to
change between every release, even point releases that do not
introduce a new SDK level. Furthermore, there is *no* guarantee that
two different devices have the same nonstandard APIs available, even
if they are both compliant with the same public API level. If you
build an application against such a custom SDK, that application will
effectively be tied to the specific *device release* corresponding to
the product tree that you used to generate the custom SDK.

... and since the app is only going to work when built for that
specific product, you're far better off just building it directly from
the normal source tree rather than fooling around with custom SDKs.

I am going to use the SDK internally only.
