Android and reflection

Question

I get the impression that Android supports reflection. But does it really? How sensible would it be to rely on reflection heavily? What\'s the penalty?

Answer 1

Android of course supports Reflection and we can read methods of a different APK or Framework class. Here is an article on using Reflection in Android as a possible design approach to create API- http://prasanta-paul.blogspot.kr/2013/09/java-reflection-as-android-api.html
