This is a preparation to remove @UnsupportedAppUsage from the
constructor of a hidden class EditableInputConnection.
In most of cases, app developers should be using
android.view.inputmethod.InputConnectionWrapper
to intercept InputConnection API calls before they are delivered to
EditText as follows.
final EditText editText = new EditText(activity) {
@Override
public InputConnection onCreateInputConnection(
EditorInfo editorInfo) {
return new InputConnectionWrapper(
super.onCreateInputConnection(editorInfo), false) {
/**
* {@inheritDoc}
*/
@Override
public boolean commitText(
CharSequence text, int newCursorPosition) {
// do something
return super.commitText(text, newCursorPosition);
}
};
}
};
You can also re-implement BaseInputConnection without hidden APIs
since Android 9. See CLs that are associated with Bug 24688781 for
details.
This CL makes this fact clear for app developers by using
"publicAlternatives" field in @UnsupportedAppUsage.
