libcore.api

Annotation Type Hide

@Target(value={TYPE,FIELD,METHOD,CONSTRUCTOR,ANNOTATION_TYPE})
 @Retention(value=SOURCE)
public @interface Hide

Indicates that an API is hidden by default, in a similar fashion to the

@hide

javadoc tag.

Note that, in order for this to work, metalava has to be invoked with the flag --hide-annotation libcore.api.Hide.

This annotation should be used in .annotated.java stub files which contain API inclusion information about libcore/ojluni classes, to avoid patching the source files with

@hide

javadoc tags. All build targets which consume these stub files should also apply the above metalava flag.
