# Lint
|
|
|
|
Android's [**lint**](http://developer.android.com/tools/help/lint.html) is a static
|
|
analysis tool that Chromium uses to catch possible issues in Java code.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
## How Chromium uses lint
|
|
|
|
Chromium runs lint on a per-target basis for all targets using any of the
|
|
following templates if they are marked as Chromium code (i.e.,
|
|
`chromium_code = true`):
|
|
|
|
- `android_apk`
|
|
- `android_library`
|
|
- `instrumentation_test_apk`
|
|
- `unittest_apk`
|
|
|
|
Chromium also runs lint on a per-target basis for all targets using any of the
|
|
following templates if they are marked as Chromium code and they support
|
|
Android (i.e., `supports_android = true`):
|
|
|
|
- `java_library`
|
|
|
|
This is implemented in the
|
|
[`android_lint`](https://code.google.com/p/chromium/codesearch#chromium/src/build/config/android/internal_rules.gni&q=android_lint%20file:internal_rules%5C.gni)
|
|
gn template.
|
|
|
|
## My code has a lint error
|
|
|
|
If lint reports an issue in your code, there are several possible remedies.
|
|
In descending order of preference:
|
|
|
|
### Fix it
|
|
|
|
While this isn't always the right response, fixing the lint error or warning
|
|
should be the default.
|
|
|
|
### Suppress it in code
|
|
|
|
Android provides an annotation,
|
|
[`@SuppressLint`](http://developer.android.com/reference/android/annotation/SuppressLint.html),
|
|
that tells lint to ignore the annotated element. It can be used on classes,
|
|
constructors, methods, parameters, fields, or local variables, though usage
|
|
in Chromium is typically limited to the first three.
|
|
|
|
Like many suppression annotations, `@SuppressLint` takes a value that tells **lint**
|
|
what to ignore. It can be a single `String`:
|
|
|
|
```java
|
|
@SuppressLint("NewApi")
|
|
public void foo() {
|
|
a.methodThatRequiresHighSdkLevel();
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
It can also be a list of `String`s:
|
|
|
|
```java
|
|
@SuppressLint({
|
|
"NewApi",
|
|
"UseSparseArrays"
|
|
})
|
|
public Map<Integer, FakeObject> bar() {
|
|
Map<Integer, FakeObject> shouldBeASparseArray = new HashMap<Integer, FakeObject>();
|
|
another.methodThatRequiresHighSdkLevel(shouldBeASparseArray);
|
|
return shouldBeASparseArray;
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This is the preferred way of suppressing warnings in a limited scope.
|
|
|
|
### Suppress it in the suppressions XML file
|
|
|
|
**lint** can be given an XML configuration containing warnings or errors that
|
|
should be ignored. Chromium's lint suppression XML file can be found in
|
|
[`build/android/lint/suppressions.xml`](https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/master/build/android/lint/suppressions.xml).
|
|
It can be updated to suppress current warnings by running:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ python build/android/lint/suppress.py <result.xml file>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
e.g., to suppress lint errors found in `media_java`:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ python build/android/lint/suppress.py out/Debug/gen/media/base/android/media_java__lint/result.xml
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**This mechanism should only be used for disabling warnings across the entire code base; class-specific lint warnings should be disabled inline.**
