How do I disable Android @IntDef annotation checks in special cases?

Question

One such case is reading an int from a Bundle and storing it into the variable restricted by @IndDef annotation:

public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity {  @IntDef({STATE_IDLE, STATE_PLAYING, STATE_RECORDING}) @Retention(RetentionPolicy.SOURCE) public @interface State {}  public static final int STATE_IDLE = 0; public static final int STATE_PLAYING = 1; public static final int STATE_RECORDING = 2;  @MainActivity.State int fPlayerState = STATE_IDLE;  @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {     super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);      if (savedInstanceState != null)         fPlayerState = savedInstanceState.getInt(BUNDLE_STATE); //Causes "Must be one of: ..." error 

There must be some way of suppressing the check or casting from int to @MainActivity.State int in order to set the variable in the last line.

The other case is to write a negative test that calls a function with annotated parameter intentionally passing the wrong parameter in order to test that the Exception is thrown in such case. There must be a way to suppress annotation check in order to compile such test.

Answer 1

I've found the way to suppress the annotation checks. Actually, there are three of them:

1. Add @SuppressWarnings("ResourceType") before the definition of your class. In my case:

   @SuppressWarnings("ResourceType") public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity {     ... } 

2. Add @SuppressWarnings("ResourceType") before the definition of your method. In my case:

   @Override @SuppressWarnings("ResourceType") protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {     ... } 

These two approaches do not work for me, because I want annotation checks on all of my code, except for just one statement.

3. To suppress a check on a single line add a specially formatted comment (!!!).

   //noinspection ResourceType fState = savedInstanceState.getInt(BUNDLE_STATE); 

Answer 2

@Status int state1=bundle.getInt(STATE_ELEMENT1); setStatus1(state1); //instead of direct setStatus1(bundle.getInt(STATE_ELEMENT1);
