(#) Using internal inset dimension resource !!! WARNING: Using internal inset dimension resource This is a warning. Id : `InternalInsetResource` Summary : Using internal inset dimension resource Severity : Warning Category : Correctness Platform : Android Vendor : Android Open Source Project Feedback : https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/new?component=192708 Since : 7.3.0 (September 2022) Affects : Kotlin and Java files Editing : This check runs on the fly in the IDE editor Implementation : [Source Code](https://cs.android.com/android-studio/platform/tools/base/+/mirror-goog-studio-main:lint/libs/lint-checks/src/main/java/com/android/tools/lint/checks/InternalInsetResourceDetector.kt) Tests : [Source Code](https://cs.android.com/android-studio/platform/tools/base/+/mirror-goog-studio-main:lint/libs/lint-tests/src/test/java/com/android/tools/lint/checks/InternalInsetResourceDetectorTest.kt) The internal inset dimension resources are not a supported way to retrieve the relevant insets for your application. The insets are dynamic values that can change while your app is visible, and your app's window may not intersect with the system UI. To get the relevant value for your app and listen to updates, use `androidx.core.view.WindowInsetsCompat` and related APIs. (##) Example Here is an example of lint warnings produced by this check: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~text src/test/pkg/test.kt:6:Warning: Using internal inset dimension resource status_bar_height is not supported [InternalInsetResource] getIdentifier("status_bar_height", "dimen", "android") ------------------------------------------------------ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Here is the source file referenced above: `src/test/pkg/test.kt`: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~kotlin linenumbers package test.pkg import android.content.res.Resources fun Resources.getStatusBarHeightIdentifier(): Int = getIdentifier("status_bar_height", "dimen", "android") ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You can also visit the [source code](https://cs.android.com/android-studio/platform/tools/base/+/mirror-goog-studio-main:lint/libs/lint-tests/src/test/java/com/android/tools/lint/checks/InternalInsetResourceDetectorTest.kt) for the unit tests for this check to see additional scenarios. (##) Suppressing You can suppress false positives using one of the following mechanisms: * Using a suppression annotation like this on the enclosing element: ```kt // Kotlin @Suppress("InternalInsetResource") fun method() { getIdentifier(...) } ``` or ```java // Java @SuppressWarnings("InternalInsetResource") void method() { getIdentifier(...); } ``` * Using a suppression comment like this on the line above: ```kt //noinspection InternalInsetResource problematicStatement() ``` * Using a special `lint.xml` file in the source tree which turns off the check in that folder and any sub folder. A simple file might look like this: ```xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <lint> <issue id="InternalInsetResource" severity="ignore" /> </lint> ``` Instead of `ignore` you can also change the severity here, for example from `error` to `warning`. You can find additional documentation on how to filter issues by path, regular expression and so on [here](https://googlesamples.github.io/android-custom-lint-rules/usage/lintxml.md.html). * In Gradle projects, using the DSL syntax to configure lint. For example, you can use something like ```gradle lintOptions { disable 'InternalInsetResource' } ``` In Android projects this should be nested inside an `android { }` block. * For manual invocations of `lint`, using the `--ignore` flag: ``` $ lint --ignore InternalInsetResource ...` ``` * Last, but not least, using baselines, as discussed [here](https://googlesamples.github.io/android-custom-lint-rules/usage/baselines.md.html).
