Package com.android.tools.lint.detector.api

Interface Summary

Interface	Description
Detector.BinaryResourceScanner	Specialized interface for detectors that scan binary resource files (typically bitmaps but also files in res/raw)
Detector.ClassScanner	Specialized interface for detectors that scan Java class files
Detector.GradleScanner	Specialized interface for detectors that scan Gradle files
Detector.JavaPsiScanner	Interface to be implemented by lint detectors that want to analyze Java source files.
Detector.JavaScanner	Deprecated Use Detector.JavaPsiScanner instead
Detector.OtherFileScanner	Specialized interface for detectors that scan other files
Detector.ResourceFolderScanner	Specialized interface for detectors that scan resource folders (the folder directory itself, not the individual files within it
Detector.XmlScanner	Specialized interface for detectors that scan XML files
Location.Handle	A Location.Handle is a reference to a location.

Class Summary

Class	Description
Category	A category is a container for related issues.
CharSequences	A number of utility methods around CharSequence handling, which adds methods that are available on Strings (such as indexOf, startsWith and regionMatches and provides equivalent methods for character sequences.
ClassContext	A Context used when checking .class files.
ConstantEvaluator	Evaluates constant expressions
Context	Context passed to the detectors during an analysis run.
DefaultPosition	A simple offset-based position *
Detector	A detector is able to find a particular problem (or a set of related problems).
Implementation	An Implementation of an Issue maps to the Detector class responsible for analyzing the issue, as well as the Scope required by the detector to perform its analysis.
Issue	An issue is a potential bug in an Android application.
JavaContext	A Context used when checking Java files.
LayoutDetector	Abstract class specifically intended for layout detectors which provides some common utility methods shared by layout detectors.
LintUtils	Useful utility methods related to lint.
Location	Location information for a warning
Location.DefaultLocationHandle	A default Location.Handle implementation for simple file offsets
Location.ResourceItemHandle
Location.SearchHints	Extra information pertaining to finding a symbol in a source buffer, used by Location.create(File, CharSequence, int, String, String, SearchHints)
Position	Information about a position in a file/document.
Project	A project contains information about an Android project being scanned for Lint errors.
ResourceContext	A Context used when checking resource files (both bitmaps and XML files; for XML files a subclass of this context is used: XmlContext.)
ResourceEvaluator	Evaluates constant expressions
ResourceXmlDetector	Specialized detector intended for XML resources.
TypeEvaluator	Evaluates the types of nodes.
XmlContext	A Context used when checking XML files.

Enum Summary

Enum	Description
Location.SearchDirection	Whether to look forwards, or backwards, or in both directions, when searching for a pattern in the source code to determine the right position range for a given symbol.
Scope	The scope of a detector is the set of files a detector must consider when performing its analysis.
Severity	Severity of an issue found by lint
Speed	Enum which describes the different computation speeds of various detectors
TextFormat	Lint error message, issue explanations and location descriptions are described in a TextFormat.RAW format which looks similar to text but which can contain bold, symbols and links.
