No dessert - linter

On Maven Central:

Or Jitpack:

This is a linter that enforces zero usages of Android's marketing names for their versions (desserts until recent years).

This is simply due to the fact the API documentation uses numbers, and the marketing terms are added in by the IDE as it auto fixes warnings about SDK versions.

It includes a lint quick fix that will inline the integer constant for you.

Usage

MavenCentral:

allprojects {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }
}

dependencies {
    lintChecks 'io.github.westonal:no-desserts:0.14'
}

Or Jitpack:

allprojects {
    repositories {
        ...
        maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
    }
}

dependencies {
    lintChecks 'com.github.westonal:no-desserts:0.14'
}

Important, note lintChecks, not anything else.

If you don't any expected warnings straight away, in AS, go to File -> "Sync Project with Gradle Files".
