How to disable lint abortOnError in Android Gradle Plugin from top level of multi project directory

Question

I have a top level Android Gradle project. There are multiple subprojects nested below this projects (sometimes they are 2 level deep) i.e:

top level project         


        

Answer 1

I too faced a similar situation, but instead of just modifying the DSL directly, I called configure on it instead:

configure(android.lintOptions) {
    abortOnError false
}

As a result, I was able to disable abortOnError for my desired subprojects. Bottom line, your subproject block should look like this:

subprojects {

    afterEvaluate {
        if (getPlugins().hasPlugin('android') ||
            getPlugins().hasPlugin('android-library')) {

            println name // for debugging

            configure(android.lintOptions) {
                abortOnError false
            }
        }

    }
}
