In order to maintain the version numbers of my gradle dependencies, I chose the below pattern.
In my project level build.gradle
I added:
ext.versions = [
'kotlin_version' : '1.2.30',
'dagger' : '2.16'
]
And in my app module's build.gradle
I added:
implementation "com.google.dagger:dagger:${versions.dagger}"
implementation "com.google.dagger:dagger-android-support:${versions.dagger}"
implementation "com.google.dagger:dagger-android:${versions.dagger}"
kapt "com.google.dagger:dagger-compiler:${versions.dagger}"
kapt "com.google.dagger:dagger-android-processor:${versions.dagger}"
But my problem is after doing this, I lost the lint warnings of "Newer Library versions available".
What is the correct way to do this without missing the lint checks?
Note: I have also tried other ways like moving these versions to gradle.properties file (for global variables).
I am looking for a solution inside Android Studio. There is one solution which I already found:
Analyze -> Run Inspection by name... -> Type "Newer Library Versions Available"
But my concern is, it is easy to miss on updates until we run some or the other script. That is why I am trying to find a way where dependency versions can be put in a variable and get lint warning for new updates.
See this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/46296198/2053763
There is a link to a gradle plugin which can check for dependency updates.
Android Studio 3.1.2 offers some lint checks while using version variables, but still misses some of the updates. See image below:
