How to enable Android lint check for the @Nullable annotation?

Question

I've noticed that Android Studio will verify that @Nullable isn't being ignored in the code:

ex.

@Nullable MyObject getMyObject();
...

MyObject o = getMyObject();
o.method();

^ Method invocation 'method' may produce 'java.lang.NullPointerException'

This is enforced by the NullableProblems IntelliJ warning.

I would like to enforce this rule from gradle at build-time via lint rule. Does anyone happen to know if it's possible to enable something similar to that via gradle?

Answer 1

If you want lint to throw an error when certain rules are broken in the source code, you can definitely configure the project in a way that the source compilation halts. I could have written the whole process but this link more or less summarizes the whole thing

Also go through the Android link doc

Note : Analyze option in Android Studio Menu mostly uses both Lint and built in Intellij Idea Code inspection
