Could not intercept Android view method call. What I am doing wrong? about android-buddy HOT 4 CLOSED

Hi @souravpalitrana - By default Android Buddy doesn't transform third party dependencies, but you can configure it to do so by following the steps mentioned here: https://github.com/LikeTheSalad/android-buddy#configuration-to-enable-dependencies-transformations

This configuration for transforming third party dependencies is quite new, so it's prone to errors. At the beginning I didn't add this support because of some Android build plugin limitations (which I've listed in the readme) and also because of build performance concerns, however I've been thinking lately about some ways to add this support by default without affecting the performance too much and making it easy to use as well, and I'm pondering about maybe making it to support third party transformations by default on version 2.0.0.

So please take a look at the configuration, let me know if something's wrong or somehow not working as expected so that I could address that in the version I mentioned :)

Thanks,
Cesar

Hi @souravpalitrana

You're not doing anything wrong, no worries, the issue is that, unfortunately, none of the Android SDK classes (listed here) can be transformed because of the way Android works. So what happens is that, the Android OS comes with these classes built in, so in the end your app makes use of the classes in each device instead of the classes of the android library that we see in our code.

So in other words, the Android SDK classes that we see in our code, are only some sort of "mocks" if you will... Those won't go into the app because the ones that you'll app will use when it's running are the ones built into the Android devices.

The only Views that your transformation can affect would be custom ones from your project, so for example, if you create a custom Button that extends the Android's SDK Button View class, and then you use that in your layout, then you'll see the transformation applied at run time, to your custom View only.

Thanks, @LikeTheSalad for the detailed explanation. However, could we do this transformation for the third-party library? I think we could not. For example, I want to rebase a class of Volley library. I could not do that too.
