Dynamic values are not supported as attributes in annotation- AspectJ Android [AOP Android]

I am using custom annotation to log the id which user clicked. But I am getting a error "Attribute value must be a constant". My code snippet is below.

mAssetId= Asset.getContentId();

  @TrackEvent("track_event")
    @ArrayParams({@Params(key = "content_id",value = mAssetId)})
    protected void attributeMethod() {
    }

Thanks in advance. Is there any way to pass dynamic values in annotation rather than static variables or constants. I am using AspectJ library for android.

Solution

  • It's not possible to specify runtime values in annotation attributes, only constants, and even the set of possible types is limited to a few types:

    primitives, String, Class, enums, annotations, and arrays of the preceding types

    according to the Java 5 Language Guide - Annotations.
