Part 2: Code Analysis in Android: Detekt

In both personal projects and team projects, we want a level of uniformity and a codebase that follows recommended coding conventions when it comes to things like naming, complexity of classes or functions etc. Linting tools help us with exactly that! This video is part 2 of a two part series that covers integrating Detekt on top of Ktlint for code analysis.

*📌 Considerations*
If you are watching this at a future date checkout the Detekt repository and compatibility table to get the latest version to use in place of the version used in the video and the corresponding compatibility of your version against your project Gradle version, Kotlin version etc

Great session, I have learnt new stuff: customizing rules and also about the detektGenerateConfig task(I usually create the config manually then copy from existing projects😅).

Am not even an android developer but I feel like I can manage a whole android app development project😂

Why you use detek and ktlint ? I mean of them can work with linting
