Lines Matching full:reflection
661 <li> The difference can be used to distinguish between 1.0 and Cupcake, though reflection.
663 <li> The difference prevents from using any of the symbolic constants directly in source code: if the same binary wants to run on both 1.0 and Cupcake, it will have to hard-code the values of those constants or use reflection to get to them.
679 <li> I intend to eventually change the column name for APP_DATA to "app_data". Because of that, code should use reflection to get to that name instead of hard-coding "entity", so that it always gets the right value for the string.
681 <li> I intend to refine the handling of filenames and content URIs, exposing separate columns for situations where a download can be accessed both as a file and through a content URI (e.g. stuff that is recognized by the media scanner). Unfortunately at this point this feature isn't clear in my mind. I'd recommend using reflection to look for the Downloads._DATA column, and if it isn't there to look for the FILENAME column (which has the advantage of also dealing with the difference between 1.0 and Cupcake).
683 <li> I intend to renumber the error codes, especially those in the 4xx range, and especially those below 490 (which overlap with standard HTTP error codes but will probably be separated). Reflection would improve the probability to getting to them in the future. Unfortunately, the names of the constants are likely to change in the process, in order to disambiguate codes coming from HTTP from those generated locally. I might try to stick to the following pattern: where a constant is currently named STATUS_XXX, its locally-generated version in the future might be named STATUS_LOCAL_XXX while the current constant name might disappear. Using reflection to try to get to the possible new name instead of using the old name might improve the probability of compatibility in the future. That being said, it is critically important to properly handle the full ranges or error codes, especially the 4xx range, as "expected" errors, and it is far preferable to not try to distinguish between those codes at all: use the functions Downloads.isError and Downloads.isClientError to easily recognize those entire ranges. In order of probability, the 1xx range is the second most likely to be affected.
