Getting SystemProperties.java class using android:sharedUserId="android.uid.system" attributes

Question

I know that the SystemProperties class won't be exported as part of the public SDK because of the @hide annotation.

What I've done:

Added the android:sharedUserId="android.uid.system" attributes on the AndroidManifest.xml file
The application is signed with platform key

and still get a compiling error...

note: I've already checked out the where is os systemproperties question.

But this solution doesn't work for me.

Merely adding android:sharedUserId="android.uid.system" would not give you access to source files. You have to sign your apk with the ROM. — srjhnd, Apr 18 '20 at 06:49
For priv-app, better to use LOCAL_PRIVILEGED_MODULE := true instead of LOCAL_MODULE_PATH — anhtuannd, Oct 24 '22 at 10:48
@anhtuannd definitely. this is something I didn't know at that time. — ziLk, Oct 24 '22 at 12:02

I've just added the below line on my Android.mk file, and it works

# Can only use LOCAL_PRIVATE_PLATFORM_APIS on Android 9+
ifneq (0, $(shell expr $(PLATFORM_VERSION) \>= 9))
LOCAL_PRIVATE_PLATFORM_APIS := true
endif
