+Note however that it may not be an error: you can theoretically have speakers of any language in any region and want to target that with your resources, so this check is aimed at tracking down likely mistakes, not to enforce a specific set of region and language combinations.

+
+Here we specify a comma separated list of issue id's after the disable command. You can also use
+

+ <!-- Ignore everything in the test source set -->

+
+To suppress lint checks from the command line, pass the --ignore flag with a comma separated list of ids to be suppressed, such as:

+1. With a
@SuppressLint
annotation in the Java code+2. With a
tools:ignore
attribute in the XML file+3. With a //noinspection comment in the source code
+4. With ignore flags specified in the
build.gradle
file, as explained below+5. With a
lint.xml
configuration file in the project+6. With a
lint.xml
configuration file passed to lint via the --config flag+7. With the --ignore flag passed to lint.
+
+To suppress a lint warning with an annotation, add a
@SuppressLint("id")
annotation on the class, method or variable declaration closest to the warning instance you want to disable. The id can be one or more issue id's, such as "UnusedResources"
or {"UnusedResources","UnusedIds"}
, or it can be "all"
to suppress all lint warnings in the given scope.+
+To suppress a lint warning with a comment, add a
//noinspection id
comment on the line before the statement with the error.+
+To suppress a lint warning in an XML file, add a
tools:ignore="id"
attribute on the element containing the error, or one of its surrounding elements. You also need to define the namespace for the tools prefix on the root element in your document, next to the xmlns:android
declaration:+
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
+
+To suppress a lint warning in a
build.gradle
file, add a section like this:+
+android {
+ lintOptions {
+ disable 'TypographyFractions','TypographyQuotes'
+ }
+}
+
+Here we specify a comma separated list of issue id's after the disable command. You can also use
warning
or error
instead of disable
to change the severity of issues.+
+To suppress lint warnings with a configuration XML file, create a file named
lint.xml
and place it at the root directory of the module in which it applies.+
+The format of the
lint.xml
file is something like the following:+
+<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
+<lint>
+ <!-- Ignore everything in the test source set -->
+ <issue id="all">
+ <ignore path="*/test/*" />
+ </issue>
+
+ <!-- Disable this given check in this project -->
+ <issue id="IconMissingDensityFolder" severity="ignore" />
+
+ <!-- Ignore the ObsoleteLayoutParam issue in the given files -->
+ <issue id="ObsoleteLayoutParam">
+ <ignore path="res/layout/activation.xml" />
+ <ignore path="res/layout-xlarge/activation.xml" />
+ <ignore regexp="(foo|bar).java" />
+ </issue>
+
+ <!-- Ignore the UselessLeaf issue in the given file -->
+ <issue id="UselessLeaf">
+ <ignore path="res/layout/main.xml" />
+ </issue>
+
+ <!-- Change the severity of hardcoded strings to "error" -->
+ <issue id="HardcodedText" severity="error" />
+</lint>
+
+To suppress lint checks from the command line, pass the --ignore flag with a comma separated list of ids to be suppressed, such as:
+
$ lint --ignore UnusedResources,UselessLeaf /my/project/path
