Is it recommended to check view for null with every findViewById call?

Question

When inflating an element with findViewById, Android Studio always warns me that my inflated view may return null

View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_photo_gallery, container, false);

and suggests I do something like surround with my statement with a null check:

if (v != null) {
    mGridView = (GridView)v.findViewById(R.id.gridView);
}

Is it recommended to always do the mentioned null check before inflating an element?

EDIT: Adding lint pictures

Answer 1

I think you should never do that.

If you do that you are masking a logic error in your program, in case you are passing a wrong id to your findView.

If you are passing a correct id but for any reason inflater returns null that's Android problem (that will never actually happen) and you also should do nothing.

I think this warning does not come from Android Lint.
