Code analysis for android projects in Teamcity

Question

I have a gradle based android studio project. I have installed IntelliJ IDEA 14 CE . Now I want to check code quality using a command. Is this possible? The real question is whether you can do code analysis to a completed project using IntelliJ IDEA 14 CE. Please give a solution.

EDIT

If it's not possible is there any other tool available for code analysis which can be operated using a shell command. I require command based code checking which will make my job easier when I integrate a project with the continuous integration server(TeamCity).

Answer 1

Lint is a very good option for code inspection. Just do the following

cd PATH_TO_PROJECT
chmod a+x gradlew
./gradlew lint

To avoid warnings from failing the build edit build.gradle file as below

android {
lintOptions {      
quiet false
abortOnError true
ignoreWarnings true
checkReleaseBuilds false
}
...
}

The errors will be obtained as an html and xml file in your output folder
