/**
* Indicates that this non-SDK interface is used by apps. A non-SDK interface is a
* class member (field or method) that is not part of the public SDK. Since the
* member is not part of the SDK, usage by apps is not supported.
*
* If you are an Android App developer
*
* This annotation indicates that you may be able to access the member, but that
* this access is discouraged and not supported by Android. If there is a value
* for {@link #maxTargetSdk()} on the annotation, access will be restricted based
* on the {@code targetSdkVersion} value set in your manifest.
*
* Fields and methods annotated with this are likely to be restricted, changed
* or removed in future Android releases. If you rely on these members for
* functionality that is not otherwise supported by Android, consider filing a
* feature request.
*
*
If you are an Android OS developer
*
* This annotation acts as a heads up that changing a given method or field
* may affect apps, potentially breaking them when the next Android version is
* released. In some cases, for members that are heavily used, this annotation
* may imply restrictions on changes to the member.
*
* This annotation also results in access to the member being permitted by the
* runtime, with a warning being generated in debug builds. Which apps can access
* the member is determined by the value of {@link #maxTargetSdk()}.
*
*
For more details, see go/UnsupportedAppUsage.

* Indicates that usage of this API is limited to apps based on their target SDK version.
*
*
Access to the API is allowed if the targetSdkVersion in the apps manifest is no greater

*
*
This is used to give app developers a grace period to migrate off a non-SDK interface.
* When making Android version N, existing APIs can have a maxTargetSdk of N-1 added to them.
* Developers must then migrate off the API when their app is updated in future, but it will
* continue working in the meantime.
*
*
Possible values are:
*
* -
* {@link android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES#O} or {@link android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES#P},
* to limit access to apps targeting these SDKs (or earlier).
*
* -
* absent (default value) - All apps can access this API, but doing so may result in
* warnings in the log, UI warnings (on developer builds) and/or strictmode violations.
* The API is likely to be further restricted in future.
*
*
*
*
* Note, if this is set to {@link android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES#O}, apps targeting O
* maintenance releases will also be allowed to use the API, and similarly for any future
* maintenance releases of P.
