Lint. What, Why, How? by Niklas Baudy - DevFestHH17

Lint is a code analysis tool that can find incorrect or imperfect code automatically for you. In this talk, we'll start with what exactly Lint is, why you should want to use it, and how it can be used to improve your Android Development.

After covering the basics, we'll dive into the API of Lint and see how custom Lint rules can be written and tested.

To sum it up, we'll see how Lint Checks can be provided so that you can start writing your own Lint rules and make your code more perfect.

36:30 - What are the most craziest quick fixes you've used?
37:30 - Is it possible to pass some kind of configuration into your lint rule?
38:20 - Are all of the lint checks implemented like this?
39:00 - Do we need other tools like Detekt / Ktlint / Checkstyle since it seems like you can do everything in Lint?
41:46 - You mentioned those Utility classes, are they documented or what is my flow to discover them?
