Bindingsgenerator: Package public class inheriting from package class results in error #168
Description
We have two classes, public class MyPublicClass extends MyPackageClass and abstract class MyPackageClass (package private class). This generates code for MyPublicClass which wants to inherit from MyPackageClass, but because parent class is package private, no C# code is generated for it.
package com.xamarin;
abstract class MyPackageClass {
public abstract void bugOne();
}
package com.xamarin;
public class MyPublicClass extends MyPackageClass {
@Override
public void bugOne() {
}
}It generates c# code:
public partial class MyPublicClass : global::Com.Xamarin.MyPackageClass {which results in this error:
obj/Debug/generated/src/Com.Xamarin.MyPublicClass.cs(9,59,9,73): error CS0234: The type or namespace name 'MyPackageClass' does not exist in the namespace 'Com.Xamarin' (are you missing an assembly reference?)
This reproduces with Visual Studio for Mac Community 2017 and also latest generator.exe code compiled from source. Attached is a problematic Jar. Please take a look. Just create an Android binding library project, add the attached jar, and build.

We actually have a Trello card discussing just this, dated Jul 31, 2012.
I would love to have this. The problem is clawing out time for actual generator fixes and improvements, as opposed to all the other things we work on... :-(

There's not a real solution here. The only way will be changing in "the source code" the access modifiers, is that I understand here. :-(
