Usage

Before all, you need to turn lint reports on in your build.gradle file. You can do this by adding the xmlReport true option, like:

android {
    lintOptions {
        xmlReport true
    }
}

Basic

android_lint.lint

Advanced

Using a custom gradle task

In case you have multiple flavors, you may want to change the gradle task that runs the lint command. You can achieve that by simply changing the value of gradle_task. Default is lint.

android_lint.gradle_task = "lintMyFlavorDebug"
android_lint.lint

Skip gradle task execution

If you want to skip the gradle task execution. You can achieve that by simply changing the value of skip_gradle_task. Default is false.

android_lint.skip_gradle_task = true
android_lint.lint

Changing report's file path

If you're using a path to output your report file other than the default one, you can specify it by setting a new value to report_file:

android_lint.report_file = "your/report/file.xml"
android_lint.lint

Changing report's severity level

If you want to filter lint issues based on their severity level, you can do that by setting a value to severity. Bear in mind that you are filtering issues by the severity level you've set and up. Possible values are Warning, Error and Fatal. Default is Warning (which is everything).

android_lint.severity = "Error"
android_lint.lint

Lint only added/modified files

If you're dealing with a legacy project, with tons of warnings, you may want to lint only new/modified files. You can easily achieve that, setting the filtering parameter to true.

android_lint.filtering = true
android_lint.lint

Additionally, you can further filter to only the modified lines by setting the filtering_lines parameter to true.

android_lint.filtering_lines = true
android_lint.lint

Filter issues by ID

In some cases you may want to conditionally ignore specific lint warnings without fully disabling them in your lintOptions configuration. To do that, you can pass a list of IDs to the excluding_issue_ids parameter.

android_lint.excluding_issue_ids = ["MissingTranslation"]
android_lint.lint
