Difference between running lint via Android Studio menu and gradlew command-line

When I run the following on a command line:

./gradlew -lint

I get different results than if I choose the following menu option within Android Studio.

Analyze->Inspect Code...

Can anyone explain this? Is this normal? Should a prudent developer run both in order to find all potential problems with his/her project?

Solution

  • In Android Studio you can customize what inspections are run via Preferences > Inspections; you may have some Lint inspections disabled, and not all run by default. Android Studio can also run a great number of non-Lint inspections.
