Remarks

A program element annotated @Deprecated is one that programmers are discouraged from using. An element may be deprecated for any of several reasons, for example, its usage is likely to lead to errors; it may be changed incompatibly or removed in a future version; it has been superseded by a newer, usually preferable alternative; or it is obsolete.

Compilers issue warnings when a deprecated program element is used or overridden in non-deprecated code. Use of the @Deprecated annotation on a local variable declaration or on a parameter declaration or a package declaration has no effect on the warnings issued by a compiler.

When a module is deprecated, the use of that module in requires, but not in exports or opens clauses causes a warning to be issued. A module being deprecated does <em>not</em> cause warnings to be issued for uses of types within the module.

This annotation type has a string-valued element since. The value of this element indicates the version in which the annotated program element was first deprecated.

This annotation type has a boolean-valued element forRemoval. A value of true indicates intent to remove the annotated program element in a future version. A value of false indicates that use of the annotated program element is discouraged, but at the time the program element was annotated, there was no specific intent to remove it.

Properties

Handle	Gets the JNI value of the underlying Android object. (Inherited from IJavaObject)
JniIdentityHashCode	Returns the value of `java.lang.System.identityHashCode()` for the wrapped instance. (Inherited from IJavaPeerable)
JniManagedPeerState	State of the managed peer. (Inherited from IJavaPeerable)
JniPeerMembers	Member access and invocation support. (Inherited from IJavaPeerable)
PeerReference	Returns a JniObjectReference of the wrapped Java object instance. (Inherited from IJavaPeerable)

Methods

AnnotationType()	Returns the annotation interface of this annotation. (Inherited from IAnnotation)
Disposed()	Called when the instance has been disposed. (Inherited from IJavaPeerable)
DisposeUnlessReferenced()	If there are no outstanding references to this instance, then calls `Dispose()`; otherwise, does nothing. (Inherited from IJavaPeerable)
Equals(Object)	Returns true if the specified object represents an annotation that is logically equivalent to this one. (Inherited from IAnnotation)
Finalized()	Called when the instance has been finalized. (Inherited from IJavaPeerable)
ForRemoval()	Indicates whether the annotated element is subject to removal in a future version.
GetHashCode()	Returns the hash code of this annotation. (Inherited from IAnnotation)
SetJniIdentityHashCode(Int32)	Set the value returned by `JniIdentityHashCode`. (Inherited from IJavaPeerable)
SetJniManagedPeerState(JniManagedPeerStates)	(Inherited from IJavaPeerable)
SetPeerReference(JniObjectReference)	Set the value returned by `PeerReference`. (Inherited from IJavaPeerable)
Since()	Returns the version in which the annotated element became deprecated.
ToString()	Returns a string representation of this annotation. (Inherited from IAnnotation)
UnregisterFromRuntime()	Unregister this instance so that the runtime will not return it from future Java.Interop.JniRuntime+JniValueManager.PeekValue invocations. (Inherited from IJavaPeerable)

Extension Methods

JavaCast<TResult>(IJavaObject)	Performs an Android runtime-checked type conversion.
