Affected by scoped storage

../../src/main/AndroidManifest.xml:13: WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE is deprecated (and is not granted) when targeting Android 13+. If you need to write to shared storage, use the MediaStore.createWriteRequest intent.

 10 
 11     <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />
 12     <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_MEDIA_IMAGES" />
 13     <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />                    
 14     <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_CONTACTS" />
 15 
 16     <application

Scoped storage is enforced on Android 10+ (or Android 11+ if using requestLegacyExternalStorage). In particular, WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE will no longer provide write access to all files; it will provide the equivalent of READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE instead.

As of Android 13, if you need to query or interact with MediaStore or media files on the shared storage, you should be using instead one or more new storage permissions:
* android.permission.READ_MEDIA_IMAGES
* android.permission.READ_MEDIA_VIDEO
* android.permission.READ_MEDIA_AUDIO

and then add maxSdkVersion="33" to the older permission. See the developer guide for how to do this: https://developer.android.com/about/versions/13/behavior-changes-13#granular-media-permissions

The MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission can be used to manage all files, but it is rarely necessary and most apps on Google Play are not allowed to use it. Most apps should instead migrate to use scoped storage. To modify or delete files, apps should request write access from the user as described at https://goo.gle/android-mediastore-createwriterequest.

When your application or sdk runs on a version of Android that is more recent than your targetSdkVersion specifies that it has been tested with, various compatibility modes kick in. This ensures that your application continues to work, but it may look out of place. For example, if the targetSdkVersion is less than 14, your app may get an option button in the UI.

To fix this issue, set the targetSdkVersion to the highest available value. Then test your app to make sure everything works correctly. You may want to consult the compatibility notes to see what changes apply to each version you are adding support for: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Build.VERSION_CODES.html as well as follow this guide:

Obsolete SDK_INT Version Check

../../src/main/res/mipmap-anydpi-v26: This folder configuration (v26) is unnecessary; minSdkVersion is 26. Merge all the resources in this folder into mipmap-anydpi.

This check flags version checks that are not necessary, because the minSdkVersion (or surrounding known API level) is already at least as high as the version checked for.

Similarly, it also looks for resources in -vNN folders, such as values-v14 where the version qualifier is less than or equal to the minSdkVersion, where the contents should be merged into the best folder.

If android:roundIcon and android:icon are both in your manifest, you must either remove the reference to android:roundIcon if it is not needed; or, supply the monochrome icon in the drawable defined by the android:roundIcon and android:icon attribute.

For example, if android:roundIcon and android:icon are both in the manifest, a launcher might choose to use android:roundIcon over android:icon to display the adaptive app icon. Therefore, your themed application iconwill not show if your monochrome attribute is not also specified in android:roundIcon.

ArcAnimationSpecTypeIssue

ArcAnimationSpec is designed for 2D values. Particularly, for positional values such as Offset.
Trying to use it for values of different dimensions (Float, Size, Color, etc.) will result in unpredictable animation behavior.

AutoboxingStateCreation

Calling mutableStateOf<T>() when T is either backed by a primitive type on the JVM or is a value class results in a state implementation that requires all state values to be boxed. This usually causes an additional allocation for each state write, and adds some additional work to auto-unbox values when reading the value of the state. Instead, prefer to use a specialized primitive state implementation for Int, Long, Float, and Double when the state does not need to track null values and does not override the default SnapshotMutationPolicy. See mutableIntStateOf(), mutableLongStateOf(), mutableFloatStateOf(), and mutableDoubleStateOf() for more information.

AutoboxingStateValueProperty

Avoid using the generic value property when using a specialized State type. Reading or writing to the state's generic value property will result in an unnecessary autoboxing operation. Prefer the specialized value property (e.g. intValue for MutableIntState), or use property delegation to avoid unnecessary allocations.

ConfigurationScreenWidthHeight

Configuration.screenWidthDp and Configuration.screenHeightDp have different insets behaviour depending on target SDK version, and are rounded to the nearest Dp. This means that using these values in composition to size a layout can result in issues, as these values do not accurately represent the actual available window size. Instead it is recommended to use WindowInfo.containerSize which accurately represents the window size.

ConflictingOnColor

In the Material color system background colors have a corresponding 'on' color which is used for the content color inside a component. For example, a button colored primary will have onPrimary text. Because of this, it is important that there is only one possible onColor for a given color value, otherwise there is no way to know which 'on' color should be used inside a component. To fix this either use the same 'on' color for identical background colors, or use a different background color for each 'on' color.

ConstantContentStateKeyInItemsCall

CoroutineCreationDuringComposition

Creating a coroutine with async or launch during composition is often incorrect - this means that a coroutine will be created even if the composition fails / is rolled back, and it also means that multiple coroutines could end up mutating the same state, causing inconsistent results. Instead, use LaunchedEffect and create coroutines inside the suspending block. The block will only run after a successful composition, and will cancel existing coroutines when key changes, allowing correct cleanup.

DeepLinkInActivityDestination

Attaching a <deeplink> to an <activity> destination will never give the right behavior when using an implicit deep link on another app's task (where the system back should immediately take the user back to the app that triggered the deep link). Instead, attach the deep link directly to the second activity (either by manually writing the appropriate <intent-filter> or by adding the <deeplink> to the start destination of a nav host in that second activity).

DetachAndAttachSameFragment

When doing a FragmentTransaction that includes both attach() and detach() operations being committed on the same fragment instance, it is a no-op. The reason for this is that the FragmentManager optimizes all operations within a single transaction so the attach() and detach() cancel each other out and neither is actually executed. To get the desired behavior, you should separate the attach() and detach() calls into separate FragmentTransactions.

The Fragment lifecycle can result in a Fragment being active longer than its view. This can lead to unexpected behavior from lifecycle aware objects remaining active longer than the Fragment's view.

FrequentlyChangingValue

Reading a value annotated with @FrequentlyChangingValue inside composition can cause performance issues due to frequent recompositions. To avoid frequent recompositions, instead consider:

- Using derivedStateOf to filter state changes based on a provided calculation. For example, rather than recomposing on every scroll position change, only recomposing if the scroll position changes from 0 (at the top of the list) to greater than 0 (not at the top of the list), and vice versa.
- Using snapshotFlow to create a flow of changes from a provided state. This can then be collected inside a LaunchedEffect, and used to make changes without needing to recompose.
- If using Compose UI, read this value inside measure / layout / draw, depending on where it is needed. This will cause invalidation of the corresponding phase, instead of a recomposition. See developer.android.com for more information on Jetpack Compose phases.

IncorrectChainMarginsUsage

If you understand how a chain works, it might seem obvious to add margins by re-creating the constraints with the desired margin. However, in Compose, helpers will ignore custom constraints in favor of their layout implementation. So instead, use LayoutReference.withChainParams() to define margins for Chains.

OpaqueUnitKey

Certain Compose functions including remember, LaunchedEffect, and DisposableEffect declare (and sometimes require) one or more key parameters. When a key parameter changes, it is a signal that the previous invocation is now invalid. In certain cases, it may be required to pass Unit as a key to one of these functions, indicating that the invocation never becomes invalid. Using Unit as a key should be done infrequently, and should always be done explicitly by passing the Unit literal. This inspection checks for invocations where Unit is being passed as a key argument in any form other than the Unit literal. This is usually done by mistake, and can harm readability. If a Unit expression is being passed as a key, it is always equivalent to move the expression before the function invocation and pass the Unit literal instead.

RetainLeaksContext

The lifespan of a retained object or one of its keys can extend beyond the lifecycle of the host activity. Retaining a Context (or another type that holds a strong reference to a Context) as either the return type of calculation or as a key input to retain will leak the Context and prevent its memory from being properly reclaimed.

RetainRememberObserver

Objects that implement RememberObserver and not RetainObserver are unaware of the retainment lifecycle.

Attempting to retain a value that implements RememberObserver without also implementing RetainObserver will throw an exception. Either remember the value instead of retaining it, or implement RetainObserver on the object.

Note that this inspection checks the statically declared return type to ensure it does not declare itself as implementing RememberObserver without also implementing RetainObserver. The actual runtime types are not checked, which may lead to false negatives or false positives if the calculation lambda returns a different type than the call to retain.

SuspiciousCompositionLocalModifierRead

Jetpack Compose is unable to send updated values of a CompositionLocal when it's read in a Modifier.Node's initializer and onAttach() or onDetach() callbacks. Modifier.Node's callbacks are not aware of snapshot reads, and their lifecycle callbacks are not invoked on every recomposition. If you read a CompositionLocal in onAttach() or onDetach(), you will only get the CompositionLocal's value once at the moment of the read, which may lead to unexpected behaviors. We recommend instead reading CompositionLocals at time-of-use in callbacks that apply your Modifier's behavior, like measure() for LayoutModifierNode, draw() for DrawModifierNode, and so on. To observe the value of the CompositionLocal manually, extend from the ObserverNode interface and place the read inside an observeReads {} block within the onObservedReadsChanged() callback.

SuspiciousModifierThen

Calling a Modifier factory function with an implicit receiver inside Modifier.then will result in the receiver (this) being added twice to the chain. For example, fun Modifier.myModifier() = this.then(otherModifier()) - the implementation of factory functions such as Modifier.otherModifier() will internally call this.then(...) to chain the provided modifier with their implementation. When you expand this.then(otherModifier()), it becomes: this.then(this.then(OtherModifierImplementation)) - so you can see that this is included twice in the chain, which results in modifiers such as padding being applied twice, for example. Instead, you should either remove the then() and directly chain the factory function on the receiver, this.otherModifier(), or add the empty Modifier as the receiver for the factory, such as this.then(Modifier.otherModifier())

Disabled Checks

One or more issues were not run by lint, either because the check is not enabled by default, or because it was disabled with a command line flag or via one or more lint.xml configuration files in the project directories.

AppCompatMethod

Disabled By: Default

When using the appcompat library, there are some methods you should be calling instead of the normal ones; for example, getSupportActionBar() instead of getActionBar(). This lint check looks for calls to the wrong method.

More info: https://developer.android.com/topic/libraries/support-library/

Note: This issue has an associated quickfix operation in Android Studio and IntelliJ IDEA.

AppLinksAutoVerify

Disabled By: Default

Ensures that app links are correctly set and associated with website.

More info: https://g.co/appindexing/applinks

BackButton

Disabled By: Default

According to the Android Design Guide,

"Other platforms use an explicit back button with label to allow the user to navigate up the application's hierarchy. Instead, Android uses the main action bar's app icon for hierarchical navigation and the navigation bar's back button for temporal navigation."

This check is not very sophisticated (it just looks for buttons with the label "Back"), so it is disabled by default to not trigger on common scenarios like pairs of Back/Next buttons to paginate through screens.

More info: https://d.android.com/r/studio-ui/designer/material/design

ComposableLambdaParameterNaming

Disabled By: Default

Composable functions with only one composable lambda parameter should use the name content for the parameter.

ComposableLambdaParameterPosition

Disabled By: Default

Composable functions with only one composable lambda parameter should place the parameter at the end of the parameter list, so it can be used as a trailing lambda.

ConvertToWebp

Disabled By: Default

The WebP format is typically more compact than PNG and JPEG. As of Android 4.2.1 it supports transparency and lossless conversion as well. Note that there is a quickfix in the IDE which lets you perform conversion.

Previously, launcher icons were required to be in the PNG format but that restriction is no longer there, so lint now flags these.
Note: This issue has an associated quickfix operation in Android Studio and IntelliJ IDEA.

DalvikOverride

Disabled By: Default

The Dalvik virtual machine will treat a package private method in one class as overriding a package private method in its super class, even if they are in separate packages.

If you really did intend for this method to override the other, make the method protected instead.

If you did not intend the override, consider making the method private, or changing its name or signature.

Note that this check is disabled be default, because ART (the successor to Dalvik) no longer has this behavior.

DefaultEncoding

Disabled By: Default

Some APIs will implicitly use the default system character encoding instead of UTF-8 when converting to or from bytes, such as when creating a default FileReader.

This is usually not correct; you only want to do this if you need to read files created by other programs where they have deliberately written in the same encoding. The default encoding varies from platform to platform and can vary from locale to locale, so this makes it difficult to interpret files containing non-ASCII characters.

We recommend using UTF-8 everywhere.

Note that on Android, the default file encoding is always UTF-8 (see https://developer.android.com/reference/java/nio/charset/Charset#defaultCharset() for more), so this lint check deliberately does not flag any problems in Android code, since it is always safe to rely on the default character encoding there.

DuplicateStrings

Disabled By: Default

Duplicate strings can make applications larger unnecessarily.

This lint check looks for duplicate strings, including differences for strings where the only difference is in capitalization. Title casing and all uppercase can all be adjusted in the layout or in code.

More info: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/TextView.html#attr_android:inputType

EasterEgg

Disabled By: Default

An "easter egg" is code deliberately hidden in the code, both from potential users and even from other developers. This lint check looks for code which looks like it may be hidden from sight.

ExpensiveAssertion

Disabled By: Default

In Kotlin, assertions are not handled the same way as from the Java programming language. In particular, they're just implemented as a library call, and inside the library call the error is only thrown if assertions are enabled.

This means that the arguments to the assert call will always be evaluated. If you're doing any computation in the expression being asserted, that computation will unconditionally be performed whether or not assertions are turned on. This typically turns into wasted work in release builds.

This check looks for cases where the assertion condition is nontrivial, e.g. it is performing method calls or doing more work than simple comparisons on local variables or fields.

You can work around this by writing your own inline assert method instead:

@Suppress("INVISIBLE_REFERENCE", "INVISIBLE_MEMBER")
inline fun assert(condition: () -> Boolean) {
    if (_Assertions.ENABLED && !condition()) {
        throw AssertionError()
    }
}

In Android, because assertions are not enforced at runtime, instead use this:

inline fun assert(condition: () -> Boolean) {
    if (BuildConfig.DEBUG && !condition()) {
        throw AssertionError()
    }
}

Note: This issue has an associated quickfix operation in Android Studio and IntelliJ IDEA.

IconExpectedSize

Disabled By: Default

There are predefined sizes (for each density) for launcher icons. You should follow these conventions to make sure your icons fit in with the overall look of the platform.

More info: https://d.android.com/r/studio-ui/designer/material/iconography

InvalidPackage

Disabled By: Default

This check scans through libraries looking for calls to APIs that are not included in Android.

When you create Android projects, the classpath is set up such that you can only access classes in the API packages that are included in Android. However, if you add other projects to your libs/ folder, there is no guarantee that those .jar files were built with an Android specific classpath, and in particular, they could be accessing unsupported APIs such as java.applet.

This check scans through library jars and looks for references to API packages that are not included in Android and flags these. This is only an error if your code calls one of the library classes which wind up referencing the unsupported package.

KotlinPropertyAccess

Disabled By: Default

For a method to be represented as a property in Kotlin, strict “bean”-style prefixing must be used.

Accessor methods require a get prefix or for boolean-returning methods an is prefix can be used.

More info: https://android.github.io/kotlin-guides/interop.html#property-prefixes

KotlincFE10

Disabled By: Default

K2, the new version of Kotlin compiler, which encompasses the new frontend, is coming. Try to avoid using internal APIs from the old frontend if possible.

LambdaLast

Disabled By: Default

To improve calling this code from Kotlin, parameter types eligible for SAM conversion should be last.

More info: https://android.github.io/kotlin-guides/interop.html#lambda-parameters-last

LintDocExample

Disabled By: Default

Lint's tool for generating documentation for each issue has special support for including a code example which shows how to trigger the report. It will pick the first unit test it can find and pick out the source file referenced from the error message, but you can instead designate a unit test to be the documentation example, and in that case, all the files are included.

To designate a unit test as the documentation example for an issue, name the test testDocumentationExample, or if your detector reports multiple issues, testDocumentationExample<Id>, such as testDocumentationExampleMyId.

LintImplPsiEquals

Disabled By: Default

You should never compare two PSI elements for equality with equals; use PsiEquivalenceUtil.areElementsEquivalent(PsiElement, PsiElement) instead.

LintImplUnexpectedDomain

Disabled By: Default

This checks flags URLs to domains that have not been explicitly allowed for use as a documentation source.

LogConditional

Disabled By: Default

The BuildConfig class provides a constant, DEBUG, which indicates whether the code is being built in release mode or in debug mode. In release mode, you typically want to strip out all the logging calls. Since the compiler will automatically remove all code which is inside a if (false) check, surrounding your logging calls with a check for BuildConfig.DEBUG is a good idea.

If you really intend for the logging to be present in release mode, you can suppress this warning with a @SuppressLint annotation for the intentional logging calls.

MangledCRLF

Disabled By: Default

On Windows, line endings are typically recorded as carriage return plus newline: \r\n.

This detector looks for invalid line endings with repeated carriage return characters (without newlines). Previous versions of the ADT plugin could accidentally introduce these into the file, and when editing the file, the editor could produce confusing visual artifacts.

More info: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=375421

MinSdkTooLow

Disabled By: Default

The value of the minSdkVersion property is too low and can be incremented without noticeably reducing the number of supported devices.
Note: This issue has an associated quickfix operation in Android Studio and IntelliJ IDEA.

NegativeMargin

Disabled By: Default

Margin values should be positive. Negative values are generally a sign that you are making assumptions about views surrounding the current one, or may be tempted to turn off child clipping to allow a view to escape its parent. Turning off child clipping to do this not only leads to poor graphical performance, it also results in wrong touch event handling since touch events are based strictly on a chain of parent-rect hit tests. Finally, making assumptions about the size of strings can lead to localization problems.

NewerVersionAvailable

Disabled By: Default

This detector checks with a central repository to see if there are newer versions available for the dependencies used by this project. This is similar to the GradleDependency check, which checks for newer versions available in the Android SDK tools and libraries, but this works with any MavenCentral dependency, and connects to the library every time, which makes it more flexible but also much slower.
Note: This issue has an associated quickfix operation in Android Studio and IntelliJ IDEA.

NoHardKeywords

Disabled By: Default

Do not use Kotlin’s hard keywords as the name of methods or fields. These require the use of backticks to escape when calling from Kotlin. Soft keywords, modifier keywords, and special identifiers are allowed.

For example, ActionEvent's getWhen() method requires backticks when used from Kotlin:

val timestamp = event.`when`

More info: https://android.github.io/kotlin-guides/interop.html#no-hard-keywords

NoOp

Disabled By: Default

This check looks for code which looks like it's a no-op -- usually leftover expressions from interactive debugging, but in some cases bugs where you had intended to do something with the expression such as assign it to a field.

This check can be configured via the following options:

pure-getters (default is false):
Whether to assume methods with getter-names have no side effects.

Getter methods (where names start with get or is, and have non-void return types, and no arguments) should not have side effects. With this option turned on, lint will assume that is the case and will list any getter calls whose results are ignored as suspicious code.

To configure this option, use a `lint.xml` file in the project or source folder using an <option> block like the following:

 1 <lint>
 2     <issue id="NoOp">
 3         <option name="pure-getters" value="false" />                                                
 4     </issue>
 5 </lint>

PermissionNamingConvention

Disabled By: Default

Permissions should be prefixed with an app's package name, using reverse-domain-style naming. This prefix should be followed by .permission., and then a description of the capability that the permission represents, in upper SNAKE_CASE. For example, com.example.myapp.permission.ENGAGE_HYPERSPACE.

Following this recommendation avoids naming collisions, and helps clearly identify the owner and intention of a custom permission.

PrivacySandboxBlockedCall

Disabled By: Default

Many APIs are unavailable in the Privacy Sandbox, depending on the targetSdk.

If your code is designed to run in the sandbox (and never outside the sandbox) then you should remove the blocked calls to avoid exceptions at runtime.

If your code is part of a library that can be executed both inside and outside the sandbox, surround the code with if (!Process.isSdkSandbox()) { ... } (or use your own field or method annotated with @ChecksRestrictedEnvironment) to avoid executing blocked calls when in the sandbox. Or, add the @RestrictedForEnvironment annotation to the containing method if the entire method should not be called when in the sandbox.

This check is disabled by default, and should only be enabled in modules that may execute in the Privacy Sandbox.

Registered

Disabled By: Default

Activities, services and content providers should be registered in the AndroidManifest.xml file using <activity>, <service> and <provider> tags.

If your activity is simply a parent class intended to be subclassed by other "real" activities, make it an abstract class.

More info: https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/manifest-intro.html

RequiredSize

Disabled By: Default

All views must specify an explicit layout_width and layout_height attribute. There is a runtime check for this, so if you fail to specify a size, an exception is thrown at runtime.

It's possible to specify these widths via styles as well. GridLayout, as a special case, does not require you to specify a size.

SelectableText

Disabled By: Default

If a <TextView> is used to display data, the user might want to copy that data and paste it elsewhere. To allow this, the <TextView> should specify android:textIsSelectable="true".

This lint check looks for TextViews which are likely to be displaying data: views whose text is set dynamically.
Note: This issue has an associated quickfix operation in Android Studio and IntelliJ IDEA.

StopShip

Disabled By: Default

Using the comment // STOPSHIP can be used to flag code that is incomplete but checked in. This comment marker can be used to indicate that the code should not be shipped until the issue is addressed, and lint will look for these. In Gradle projects, this is only checked for non-debug (release) builds.

In Kotlin, the TODO() method is also treated as a stop ship marker; you can use it to make incomplete code compile, but it will throw an exception at runtime and therefore should be fixed before shipping releases.
Note: This issue has an associated quickfix operation in Android Studio and IntelliJ IDEA.

StringFormatTrivial

Disabled By: Default

Every call to String.format creates a new Formatter instance, which will decrease the performance of your app. String.format should only be used when necessary--if the formatted string contains only trivial conversions (e.g. b, s, c) and there are no translation concerns, it will be more efficient to replace them and concatenate with +.

SyntheticAccessor

Disabled By: Default

A private inner class which is accessed from the outer class will force the compiler to insert a synthetic accessor; this means that you are causing extra overhead. This is not important in small projects, but is important for large apps running up against the 64K method handle limit, and especially for libraries where you want to make sure your library is as small as possible for the cases where your library is used in an app running up against the 64K limit.
Note: This issue has an associated quickfix operation in Android Studio and IntelliJ IDEA.

TypographyQuotes

Disabled By: Default

Straight single quotes and double quotes, when used as a pair, can be replaced by "curvy quotes" (or directional quotes). Use the right single quotation mark for apostrophes. Never use generic quotes ", ' or free-standing accents `, ´ for quotation marks, apostrophes, or primes. This can make the text more readable.

More info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quotation_mark

Note: This issue has an associated quickfix operation in Android Studio and IntelliJ IDEA.

UnknownNullness

Disabled By: Default

To improve referencing this code from Kotlin, consider adding explicit nullness information here with either @NonNull or @Nullable.

This check can be configured via the following options:

ignore-deprecated (default is false):
Whether to ignore classes and members that have been annotated with @Deprecated.

Normally this lint check will flag all unannotated elements, but by setting this option to true it will skip any deprecated elements.

To configure this option, use a `lint.xml` file in the project or source folder using an <option> block like the following:

 1 <lint>
 2     <issue id="UnknownNullness">
 3         <option name="ignore-deprecated" value="false" />                                           
 4     </issue>
 5 </lint>

Note: This issue has an associated quickfix operation in Android Studio and IntelliJ IDEA.

UnsupportedChromeOsHardware

Disabled By: Default

The <uses-feature> element should not require this unsupported large screen hardware feature. Any <uses-feature> not explicitly marked with required="false" is necessary on the device to be installed on. Ensure that any features that might prevent it from being installed on a ChromeOS, large screen, or foldable device are reviewed and marked as not required in the manifest.

More info: https://developer.android.com/topic/arc/manifest.html#incompat-entries

Note: This issue has an associated quickfix operation in Android Studio and IntelliJ IDEA.

UnusedIds

Disabled By: Default

This resource id definition appears not to be needed since it is not referenced from anywhere. Having id definitions, even if unused, is not necessarily a bad idea since they make working on layouts and menus easier, so there is not a strong reason to delete these.

The unused resource check can ignore tests. If you want to include resources that are only referenced from tests, consider packaging them in a test source set instead.

You can include test sources in the unused resource check by setting the system property lint.unused-resources.include-tests =true, and to exclude them (usually for performance reasons), use lint.unused-resources.exclude-tests =true.

Note: This issue has an associated quickfix operation in Android Studio and IntelliJ IDEA.

ValidActionsXml

Disabled By: Default

Ensures that an actions XML file is properly formed
Note: This issue has an associated quickfix operation in Android Studio and IntelliJ IDEA.

VulnerableCordovaVersion

Disabled By: Default

The version of Cordova used in the app is vulnerable to security issues. Please update to the latest Apache Cordova version.

More info: https://cordova.apache.org/announcements/2015/11/20/security.html

WrongThreadInterprocedural

Disabled By: Default

Searches for interprocedural call paths that violate thread annotations in the program. Tracks the flow of instantiated types and lambda expressions to increase accuracy across method boundaries.

More info: https://developer.android.com/guide/components/processes-and-threads.html#Threads

Suppressing Warnings and Errors

Lint errors can be suppressed in a variety of ways:

1. With a @SuppressLint annotation in the Java code
2. With a tools:ignore attribute in the XML file
3. With a //noinspection comment in the source code
4. With ignore flags specified in the build.gradle file, as explained below
5. With a lint.xml configuration file in the project
6. With a lint.xml configuration file passed to lint via the --config flag
7. With the --ignore flag passed to lint.

To suppress a lint warning with an annotation, add a @SuppressLint("id") annotation on the class, method or variable declaration closest to the warning instance you want to disable. The id can be one or more issue id's, such as "UnusedResources" or {"UnusedResources","UnusedIds"}, or it can be "all" to suppress all lint warnings in the given scope.

To suppress a lint warning with a comment, add a //noinspection id comment on the line before the statement with the error.

To suppress a lint warning in an XML file, add a tools:ignore="id" attribute on the element containing the error, or one of its surrounding elements. You also need to define the namespace for the tools prefix on the root element in your document, next to the xmlns:android declaration:
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"

To suppress a lint warning in a build.gradle file, add a section like this:

android {
    lintOptions {
        disable 'TypographyFractions','TypographyQuotes'
    }
}

Here we specify a comma separated list of issue id's after the disable command. You can also use warning or error instead of disable to change the severity of issues.

To suppress lint warnings with a configuration XML file, create a file named lint.xml and place it at the root directory of the module in which it applies.

The format of the lint.xml file is something like the following:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<lint>
    <!-- Ignore everything in the test source set -->
    <issue id="all">
        <ignore path="\*/test/\*" />
    </issue>

    <!-- Disable this given check in this project -->
    <issue id="IconMissingDensityFolder" severity="ignore" />

    <!-- Ignore the ObsoleteLayoutParam issue in the given files -->
    <issue id="ObsoleteLayoutParam">
        <ignore path="res/layout/activation.xml" />
        <ignore path="res/layout-xlarge/activation.xml" />
        <ignore regexp="(foo|bar)\.java" />
    </issue>

    <!-- Ignore the UselessLeaf issue in the given file -->
    <issue id="UselessLeaf">
        <ignore path="res/layout/main.xml" />
    </issue>

    <!-- Change the severity of hardcoded strings to "error" -->
    <issue id="HardcodedText" severity="error" />
</lint>

To suppress lint checks from the command line, pass the --ignore flag with a comma separated list of ids to be suppressed, such as:
$ lint --ignore UnusedResources,UselessLeaf /my/project/path
