android disable lint "unused declaration" for entire project

Question

In an android library project I have many unused declarations, cause they mostly get called from outside of the project. I use lint via

Analyze -> Inspect Code

I dont want to use

@SurpressWarning("unused")

on each file.

If I try to disable it with the same ID in gradle file

android {
    lintOptions {
        disable 'unused'
    }
}

The linter still comes up with the "Unused declaration" errors

I also tried it by creating lint.xml file in project root

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<lint>
    <!-- list of issues to configure -->
    <issue id="unused" severity="ignore" /> 
</lint>

But it still doesn´t work. Anyone know the correct lint ID?

Answer 1

You can use Analyze -> Inspect Code, then you right-click in one of the warnings. You will see there is an option called "Disable inspection":

Just click on it and you won't need to worry about unused declarations in your project anymore.
