Android Linters

Android Linters is a project which contains custom linters for an Android project.

Why use it?

This project allows you to prevent some runtime errors. For example, if you forgot to write a variable in your Parcelable class the linter will tell you what variable you forgot to write.

Linters

ParcelDetector

Check for malformed Parcelable implementations:

  • You forgot to write a variable
  • You forgot to read a variable
  • You forgot to call super in your constructor or in writeToParcel method
  • You read a different type than you wrote
  • You write in a different order than you read

For each case, the linter will show in which line is the error and what is the reason.

FactoryMethodDetector

Checks that any instantion of a fragment is done in a factory method to prevent forgetting the necessary arguments

InstanceStateDetector

Makes sure instance state is properly saved and restored.

  • You forgot to save a variable in your onSaveInstanceState method
  • You forgot to restore a variable
  • You overwrite a saved variable
  • You overwrite a restored variable
  • Save and restore different types

ManifestDetector

It is a xml detector that checks if you request for duplicate permissions in you AndroidManifest.xml

Usage

In the project there is a script that download the jar with all the linters and it will copy to your directory $HOME/.android/lint/
