FAQ

Can I use miscellaneous methods within SmartCapture Commons in my code?

All of the SmartCapture modules depend on SmartCapture Commons. This contains a variety of helper methods and shared classes. In general, unless the documentation explicitly indicates to use something from commons (such as with SmartCaptureException or SmartCaptureUiTheme), we don't recommend that clients use or rely on elements of Commons within their code. Those elements are generally NOT considered a part of the SDK and might change or be removed without being called out in migration details. The only reason that these methods are public in the first place is due to technical constraints with cross-package communication in Java. In instances where it might not be immediately clear that a method originates from Commons, we do our best to prepend the method with a gbg prefix to help you avoid accidentally relying these methods.
