Currently trying to build android-5.1.0_r5. I've checked out the sources and made no modifications. However, when compiling I get the following error.
Checking API: checkpublicapi-current
out/target/common/obj/PACKAGING/public_api.txt:20: error 5: Added public field android.Manifest.permission.BACKUP
out/target/common/obj/PACKAGING/public_api.txt:82: error 5: Added public field android.Manifest.permission.INVOKE_CARRIER_SETUP
out/target/common/obj/PACKAGING/public_api.txt:106: error 5: Added public field android.Manifest.permission.READ_PRIVILEGED_PHONE_STATE
out/target/common/obj/PACKAGING/public_api.txt:116: error 5: Added public field android.Manifest.permission.RECEIVE_EMERGENCY_BROADCAST
******************************
You have tried to change the API from what has been previously approved.
To make these errors go away, you have two choices:
1) You can add "@hide" javadoc comments to the methods, etc. listed in the
errors above.
2) You can update current.txt by executing the following command:
make update-api
To submit the revised current.txt to the main Android repository,
you will need approval.
******************************
And diffing the public api txt files does indeed show a difference.
diff frameworks/base/api/current.txt out/target/common/obj/PACKAGING/public_api.txt
19a20
> field public static final java.lang.String BACKUP = "android.permission.BACKUP";
80a82
> field public static final java.lang.String INVOKE_CARRIER_SETUP = "android.permission.INVOKE_CARRIER_SETUP";
103a106
> field public static final java.lang.String READ_PRIVILEGED_PHONE_STATE = "android.permission.READ_PRIVILEGED_PHONE_STATE";
112a116
> field public static final java.lang.String RECEIVE_EMERGENCY_BROADCAST = "android.permission.RECEIVE_EMERGENCY_BROADCAST";
However, I cant figure out where those additional Public Fields are coming from. Any ideas?
I do see the entries in my r8 code so you are probably safe running make update-api, and when that finishes then run your make command as normal.
