lintOptions for library projects

[Dal]

Hi,

My current setup is as follows:

app/build.gradle

app/lint.xml

build.gradle

libraries/lib_a/build.gradle

libraries/lib_b/build.gradle

I have placed a lintOptions section inside app/build.gradle and if I run 'gradlew lint' at the root level, lint runs fine for the app itself (abortOnError is false), but it also tries to run lint on the libraries lib_a and lib_b where the default for abortOnError is true. I don't want to have to duplicate the lintOptions section in every library's build.gradle, so is there some way I can put the lintOptions at the top level, or just tell lint to run on the app project only?

Thanks,

Dal

Hi, Dal.

Yes, you can put lint options at the top level like this

// Apply library and application plugins to corresponding subprojects
project(':my-lib') {
    apply plugin: 'android-library'
}
project(':my-app') {
    apply plugin: 'android'
}
// Do some common stuff for both library and application
subprojects {
    android {
        lintOptions {
            // set to true to turn off analysis progress reporting by lint
            quiet false
            // if true, stop the gradle build if errors are found
            abortOnError false
            // Some other options
        }
    }
}

or you can run lint on your app project only with 

./gradlew :my-app:lintDebug 

.
