android - @VisibleForTesting does not work as expected -

i wanted try @visiblefortesting annotation android unit-test - have class 1 annotated method:

public class foo {    public void bar() {   }    @visiblefortesting   private void baz() {   } }

but in unit-tests still can see bar - not baz

the point of annotation convention , used in static code analysis.

change visibility of method package. in case method has reduced visibility testing , visible tests in same package.

public class foo {    public void bar() {   }    @visiblefortesting   /* package */ void baz() {   } }
