Direct Known Subclasses:

ResourceXmlDetector

@Beta
public abstract class Detector
extends java.lang.Object

A detector is able to find a particular problem. It might also be thought of as enforcing a rule, but "rule" is a bit overloaded in ADT terminology since ViewRules are used in the Rules API to allow views to specify designtime behavior in the graphical layout editor.

Each detector provides information about the issues it can find, such as an explanation of how to fix the issue, the priority, the category, etc. It also has an id which is used to persistently identify a particular type of error.

Detectors will be called in a predefined order:

1. Manifest file
2. Resource files, in alphabetical order by resource type (therefore, "layout" is checked before "values", "values-de" is checked before "values-en" but after "values", and so on.
3. Java sources
4. Java classes
5. Proguard files

If a detector needs information when processing a file type that comes from a type of file later in the order above, they can request a second phase; see LintDriver.requestRepeat(com.android.tools.lint.detector.api.Detector, java.util.EnumSet).

NOTE: Detectors might be constructed just once and shared between lint runs, so any per-detector state should be initialized and reset via the before/after methods.

NOTE: This is not a public or final API; if you rely on this be prepared to adjust your code for the next tools release.

Constructor Detail

Detector

public Detector()

Method Detail

run

public void run(@NonNull
                Context context)

Runs the detector. This method will not be called for certain specialized detectors, such as Detector.XmlScanner and Detector.JavaScanner, where there are specialized analysis methods instead such as Detector.XmlScanner.visitElement(XmlContext, Element).

Parameters:

context - the context describing the work to be done

appliesTo

public boolean appliesTo(@NonNull
                         Context context,
                         @NonNull
                         java.io.File file)

Returns true if this detector applies to the given file

Parameters:

context - the context to check

file - the file in the context to check

Returns:

true if this detector applies to the given context and file

beforeCheckProject

public void beforeCheckProject(@NonNull
                               Context context)

Analysis is about to begin, perform any setup steps.

Parameters:

context - the context for the check referencing the project, lint client, etc

afterCheckProject

public void afterCheckProject(@NonNull
                              Context context)

Analysis has just been finished for the whole project, perform any cleanup or report issues that require project-wide analysis.

Parameters:

context - the context for the check referencing the project, lint client, etc

beforeCheckLibraryProject

public void beforeCheckLibraryProject(@NonNull
                                      Context context)

Analysis is about to begin for the given library project, perform any setup steps.

Parameters:

context - the context for the check referencing the project, lint client, etc

afterCheckLibraryProject

public void afterCheckLibraryProject(@NonNull
                                     Context context)

Analysis has just been finished for the given library project, perform any cleanup or report issues that require library-project-wide analysis.

Parameters:

context - the context for the check referencing the project, lint client, etc

beforeCheckFile

public void beforeCheckFile(@NonNull
                            Context context)

Analysis is about to be performed on a specific file, perform any setup steps.

Note: When this method is called at the beginning of checking an XML file, the context is guaranteed to be an instance of XmlContext, and similarly for a Java source file, the context will be a JavaContext and so on.

Parameters:

context - the context for the check referencing the file to be checked, the project, etc.

afterCheckFile

public void afterCheckFile(@NonNull
                           Context context)

Analysis has just been finished for a specific file, perform any cleanup or report issues found

Note: When this method is called at the end of checking an XML file, the context is guaranteed to be an instance of XmlContext, and similarly for a Java source file, the context will be a JavaContext and so on.

Parameters:

context - the context for the check referencing the file to be checked, the project, etc.
