Unresolved reference: Typeface findFromCache


Typeface class contains a static findFromCache method: https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/base/+/refs/heads/master/graphics/java/android/graphics/Typeface.java

I also see the method in IntelliJ in Typeface source code.

However, when I try to use it I get Unresolved reference: findFromCache error. My current API version is 28. Target API 26.

Why does it show an error when the method is present in the SDK?


Solution

  • This API has an "annotation" @hide, this means it is an undocumented / hidden API, which are prohibited to use since Android API 28.
