How to disable depreciation in Android studio?

Question

I try to use function formatNumberbut it's deprecated. How to disable depreciation? Or maybe use any alternative function?

Answer 1

Generally you should not disable the deprecation sign of a method. In most cases the given method's KDoc/Javadoc explains what should you use instead of the deprecated method.

What does the deprecation means? (Offical Java docs)

A program element annotated @Deprecated is one that programmers are discouraged from using, typically because it is dangerous, or because a better alternative exists.

Although you can disable the deprecation sign with an annotation at method signature level:

@Suppress("DEPRECATION")
fun methodName() {
   ...
   deprecatedMethod()
   ...
}
