extend class with private constructor in other package

Question

I want to overwrite a view of RecognizerIntent in android. To do this, I try to extend the RecognizerIntent class in Android as follows:

package com.example.myapp;

import android.content.Context; 
import android.speech.RecognizerIntent;

public class RecInt extends RecognizerIntent {

    public RecInt(Context c) {
        super(c);
//if I don't call super here, there is an error 'There is no default constructor available in RecognizerIntent'
    } 

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_recint);
    }
}

But I am getting the error

RecognizerIntent() is not public in android.speech.RecognizerIntent, Cannot be accessed from outside package.

Is there any way I can still extend a non-public class?

I want to do this so that when RecInt is started

Intent intent = new Intent(RecognizerIntent.ACTION_RECOGNIZE_SPEECH);
startActivityForResult(intent,100);

the view in setContentView(R.layout.activity_recint) shows up, instead of the RecognizerIntent view.

Answer 1

RecognizerIntent() is not public

The constructor is not public. The class is public

You can extend the class but you cant call super . It is unclear why you are doing so, or giving a Context. It does not appear to provide that constructor

Plus, that class is not an Activity , so all that onCreate code is just wrong
