Using the deprecated AbsoluteLayout class in Android?

Question

Hi all,

The AbsoluteLayout class is deprecated but still can write it in code and it works. Will there be any problems if I use this class? Will the application work correctly after I deploy it on a phone?

Thanks

When a piece of code is listed as deprecated, it means that it'll still work for the time being, but that in some future update of the code, support for it will be dropped.

This means you'll eventually have to come up with a different solution to the problem. Might as well do it now.

I do not recommend using deprecated functions if another function already exists that allows you to do what you want to do.
