Android Lint Plugin

Contributions are welcome. Join the effort !

Description

This plugin enhances the Java Plugin by providing the ability to import the Android Lint reports. The idea is to visualize Android Lint errors directly in Sonar.

Usage

• Most Android projects are compiled with Gradle, so if this is the case use the SonarQube Scanner for Gradle to analyse your Android project
• Tune the SonarQube quality profile by activating the Android Lint rules on which you'd like to see some issues reported into SonarQube
• Configure the Gradle project to execute the Android Lint engine before launching the SonarQube analysis
• Define in the Gradle project the property sonar.android.lint.report (default value points to : build/outputs/lint-results.xml) to specify the path to the Android Lint report
• Run your Analyzer command from the project root dir
• Follow the link provided at the end of the analysis to browse your project's quality in SonarQube UI (see: Browsing SonarQube)

A sample project is available on GitHub, can be browsed an be downloaded: /projects/languages/android/android-sonarqube-runner

Compiling and Installing the plugin:

• Install maven
• Clone the repository
• Compile and test the code, then generate the jar: -> run "mvn clean install" command in your terminal
• copy the jar (in the new generated target folder) in <path_to_your_sonar_install>/extensions/plugins folder,
• restart sonar

Running an analyse:

1. On a Maven project

• mvn sonar:sonar -Dsonar.profile="Android Lint" in your project

2. On another project using sonar-runner

• Add this property to your sonar-project.properties -> sonar.profile=Android Lint
