Detector.ResourceFolderScanner	Specialized interface for detectors that scan resource folders (the folder directory itself, not the individual files within it
Detector.UastScanner	Interface to be implemented by lint detectors that want to analyze Java source files (or other similar source files, such as Kotlin files.)
Detector.XmlScanner	Specialized interface for detectors that scan XML files
ExternalReferenceExpression
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
ConstantEvaluator.LastAssignmentFinder
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.
LintFix	A description of a quickfix for a lint warning, which provides structured data for use by the IDE to create an actual fix implementation.
LintFix.Builder	Builder for creating various types of fixes
LintFix.DataMap	General map storage for quickfix data; clients can look up via map keys or types of values
LintFix.FixMapBuilder
LintFix.GroupBuilder	Builder for constructing a group of fixes
LintFix.LintFixGroup	A list of quickfixes
LintFix.ReplaceString	Convenience class for the common scenario of suggesting a fix which involves replacing a static string or regular expression with a replacement string
LintFix.ReplaceStringBuilder	A builder for replacing strings
LintFix.SetAttribute	Convenience class for the common scenario of suggesting a fix which involves setting an XML attribute.
LintFix.SetAttributeBuilder
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.
UastLintUtils
XmlContext	A Context used when checking XML files.

Enum Summary

Enum	Description
LintFix.GroupType	Captures the various types of a LintFix.LintFixGroup
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.
