How to set custom Java compiler args on an Android project?

Question

I'm putting the following at the end of my project gradle file:

gradle.projectsEvaluated {
    tasks.withType(JavaCompile) {
        options.compilerArgs += 
            ['-Xep:MissingOverride:ERROR', 
             '-Xep:MissingCasesInEnumSwitch:ERROR',]
    }
}

However, in my code if I remove an @Override annotation somewhere or remove a switch statement, my Android project still builds. Shouldn't it fail with an error?

I googled your problem and found this post that described your problem and the solution looks like this:

allprojects { 
    gradle.projectsEvaluated {
        tasks.withType(JavaCompile) {
            options.compilerArgs << "-Xlint:unchecked" << "-Xlint:deprecation"
        }
    }
}

As is seems the gradle build is different for android projects than for java projects and you can't access the task CompileJava itself as stated in my first comment.
