The implemented class doesn't contain compareTo(java.lang.Object) but compareTo(SomeSpecificType), whose type don't match and hence not regarded as implementation.

If that's not about that, it is not likely about Comparable but different issue.

That doesn't make sense to me.  IComparable.compareTo takes in an  Object not 
another type so it shouldn't care about generics.

Java.Lang.IComparable

Hello,

That is a known limitation. The thing is, *generics don't really exist* in 
compiled java classes and we always need to explicitly supply which class the 
Comparable compares.

Hence the solution is, you add appropriate instantiated generic interface to 
Metadata.xml. This is an example:

<attr
path="/api/package[@name='android.content']/class[@name='ComponentName']/implements[@name='java.lang.Comparable']"
name="name">java.lang.Comparable&lt;android.content.ComponentName&gt;</attr>

I'm trying to bind droidtext (http://code.google.com/p/droidtext) and
having a lot of trouble with classes not implementing
Java.Lang.IComparable.CompareTo. I can look at the java files and see
that the functions are implemented and public but bindings aren't
being generated for them. Has anyone seen this before? I don't see
anything in the logs about why this function isn't being picked up.
