1This directory contains configuration files for lint, which is run
2in as an upload hook for repo upload.
3
4lint.xml contains checks that are turned on or off, or whitelisted /
5blacklisted for particular directories, if they are different from
6the default.
7
8baseline.xml contains the list of existing "grandfathered" lint
9errors in the codebase. It is generated using ./tools/lint/update_baseline.sh

11When you hit a lint error that should not be triggered, there are 3
12possible resolutions:
131. Use tools:ignore or @SuppressLint annotation. This is preferred
14 for cases where the lint violation is intended, so that reviewers
15 can review whether the suppression is appropriate.
162. Use tools/lint.xml to ignore a lint check which we don't care
17 about for any file, or checks that are not actionable by the
18 CL author (e.g. translation issues)
193. If there are lint errors that should be fixed, but cannot be done
20 immediately for some reason, the issue should be added to
21 baseline.xml.
