Droidcon NYC 2015

Nearly every Android developer has heard of the Lint and Checkstyle tools - however few use either to its full power, if at all. In addition to maintaining a consistent code style, we will see how to enforce architecture conventions and even prevent wrong usage of both internal and your own APIs.

For example, you have a fancy BaseFragment which should be extended by all your Fragments, or you have a custom logger which should be used instead of android.util.Log. Both of these are perfect use cases for custom Lint checks. This session will show you how to configure Checkstyle and Lint to your liking, and how to use their APIs to create custom checks, as well as how to include both in your Gradle-based project.
