Android: How to properly suppress Lint warning - "Consider using apply()" - when calling commit() on SharedPreferences.Editor?

Question

I need to commit() rather than apply() my changes to my SharedPreferences.Editor:

SharedPreferences sharedPrefs = getSharedPreferences("MY_SHARED_PREFS_FILE_NAME", Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
SharedPreferences.Editor sharedPrefsEditor = sharedPrefs.edit();
sharedPrefsEditor.putBoolean("MY_BOOLEAN", true);
sharedPrefsEditor.commit(); // <-- I get the Lint warning on this line.

But Lint gives me this warning:

Consider using apply instead; commit writes its data to persistent storage immediately, whereas apply will handle it in the background...

How do I suppress that Lint warning?

Adding @SuppressWarnings("all") before my method signature suppresses the warning, but is there a more specific String I can use instead of "all"? (Could not find anything here.)

Answer 1

@SuppressLint("ApplySharedPref") works for me.

Any time you need to suppress a lint, what you have to do is to find the Lint issue id and pass it to this annotation.

You can find it by going to File > Settings > Editor > Code Style > Inspections > Android > Lint. There you can search for the lint you want to suppress and, after selection it, you will be able to see its issue id on the Description area.
