Hi guys.
I'm trying to avoid the call to requestRowsLayout whenever a new row is added.

TableLayout.java

public void addView(View child) {
    super.addView(child);
    requestRowsLayout();
}

public void requestLayout() {
        if (mInitialized) {
            int count = getChildCount();
            for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) {
                getChildAt(i).forceLayout();
            }
        }

        super.requestLayout();
}

I've tried to use reflection to set mInitialized = false.
But cannot found the variable via reflection. Can you give me advise. ?

This is a workspace for the Kotlin programming language and you dare to post java code 😅. Better ask your question on a different platform. You can find some resources in the channel description.

Nope bro. What i'm asking about Kotlin. Just about the source I trying to getting the variable is Java 😄

[Chrimaeon]

still not a question to ask here. It’s not related to Kotlin but Android.

[Breaker ACT]

Why a question about Kotlin reflection to access a field in Java class is not a sort of Kotlin question 😕

[Chrimaeon]

then rephrase your question I guess - for me you posted Java code and wanted to “hack” a layout in the Android SDK.

[Chrimaeon]

Long story short. The code might not be the same on each Manufacturer and SDK version. so it’s not save to try to do what you want to do.

[Chrimaeon]

and that might be the reason you do not “find” the variable via reflection.

[Breaker ACT]

By using

TableLayout::class.declaredMemberProperties

we gonna get all the declare fields of a class right ?
But what I'm getting is empty list. Might be the sdk not the same, but always variable existed

[Chrimaeon]

yes.

[Chrimaeon]

and it’s empty on android SDK 33 i.e but not on Android SDK 26.

[Chrimaeon]

var android.widget.TableLayout.mCollapsedColumns: android.util.SparseBooleanArray!, var android.widget.TableLayout.mInitialized: kotlin.Boolean, var android.widget.TableLayout.mMaxWidths: kotlin.IntArray!, var android.widget.TableLayout.mPassThroughListener: android.widget.TableLayout.PassThroughHierarchyChangeListener!, var android.widget.TableLayout.mShrinkAllColumns: kotlin.Boolean, var android.widget.TableLayout.mShrinkableColumns: android.util.SparseBooleanArray!, var android.widget.TableLayout.mStretchAllColumns: kotlin.Boolean, var android.widget.TableLayout.mStretchableColumns: android.util.SparseBooleanArray!

[Breaker ACT]

Do you got any idea on that ? If the SDK has some updated, the variable name could be change right ? But I believe that TableLayout will always contain variable inside

[Breaker ACT]

Maybe the sdk bug ?

[Chrimaeon]

Not sure - again, this is a workspace for Kotlin programming language - to find experts on Android, you’d better ask somewhere else.

ok Thank you.
