Method finder

This is a tool that I use at home to enable me to look at what methods are available in most of the controls I use.

It is incomplete as it does not drill down far enough but it is much better than nothing.

Warnings

Please be aware that using undocumented functions is not recommended by the AndroidScript developers and you do so at your own risk.
Please also be aware that the “Manually entered code” option can be very dangerous.

Acknowledgements

Andreas Rozek would recognize much oif the code as the heart of it is stolen from his post at https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/androidscript/o_RCNR5ozAE

Thanks also to Salvatore Fusto for finding a bug in the app.

I have placed an spk of this app at http://hudl.sgarman.net/public/spk/SJGinspect.spk which should create a project in the AndroidScript IDE for you.

And for the sake of completeness, there is an apk at http://androidscript.sgarman.net/apk/SJGinspect.apk which you could download and install if your device is set up to allow apks that don't come from Google Play.
