hey gang - in doing some searching I haven't seen this topic broached in a bit. is there any straightforward recipe for combining KSP with an android library? I've been trying to cram the

com.android.library

plugin into the KSP Quickstart's

test-processor

module without much luck

Generally processor libraries shouldn’t/can’t also be android libraries. At least that was the story with java annotation processors and I imagine KSP is similar

yeah, that makes sense - I don't necessarily want to make the processor lib an Android lib, but was hoping to access the android libs from my KSP processor to generate code that adds a certain decorator to android library classes, then sticks that resulting code into a different module that is an actual library

do you have a specific example of what you are trying to access?

I'd like to use KotlinPoet to generate some convenience methods around `DevicePolicyManager`'s member functions and stick them inside a different module that can be compile as a jar or aar. Somewhat similar to what the KSP Quickstart does, just concerned with specific Android based classes I'm interested in

not sure if this is helpful, but in my annotation processor, i create

android.os.Bundle

extension functions with the following:

private val bundleClassName = ClassName("android.os", "Bundle")
val funBuilder = FunSpec.builder("someExtensionMethod")
    .receiver(bundleClassName) // bundle is the receiver (extension function)

this is helpful - part of what I'm trying to figure out what the right way to do this is 😄

i don’t know that an annotation processor is aware of those things

thanks for the advice william, I appreciate it
