(#) Invalid attribute for Wear uses-feature !!! ERROR: Invalid attribute for Wear uses-feature This is an error. Id : `InvalidWearFeatureAttribute` Summary : Invalid attribute for Wear uses-feature Severity : Error Category : Correctness Platform : Android Vendor : Android Open Source Project Feedback : https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/new?component=192708 Since : 3.0.0 (October 2017) Affects : Manifest files Editing : This check runs on the fly in the IDE editor See : https://developer.android.com/training/wearables/apps/packaging.html 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/WearStandaloneAppDetector.java) 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/WearStandaloneAppDetectorTest.java) For the `android.hardware.type.watch` uses-feature, android:required="false" is disallowed. A single APK for Wear and non-Wear devices is not supported. (##) Example Here is an example of lint warnings produced by this check: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~text AndroidManifest.xml:4:Error: android:required="false" is not supported for this feature [InvalidWearFeatureAttribute] <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.type.watch" android:required="false"/> ------------------------ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Here is the source file referenced above: `AndroidManifest.xml`: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~xml linenumbers <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" > <uses-sdk android:targetSdkVersion="23" /> <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.type.watch" android:required="false"/> <application> <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.wearable.standalone" android:value="true" /> </application> </manifest> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 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/WearStandaloneAppDetectorTest.java) for the unit tests for this check to see additional scenarios. The above example was automatically extracted from the first unit test found for this lint check, `WearStandaloneAppDetector.testInvalidAttributeValueForUsesFeature`.

(##) Suppressing You can suppress false positives using one of the following mechanisms: * Adding the suppression attribute `tools:ignore="InvalidWearFeatureAttribute"` on the problematic XML element (or one of its enclosing elements). You may also need to add the following namespace declaration on the root element in the XML file if it's not already there: `xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"`. ```xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <manifest xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"> ... <uses-feature tools:ignore="InvalidWearFeatureAttribute" .../> ... </manifest> ``` * 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="InvalidWearFeatureAttribute" 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 'InvalidWearFeatureAttribute' } ``` In Android projects this should be nested inside an `android { }` block. * For manual invocations of `lint`, using the `--ignore` flag: ``` $ lint --ignore InvalidWearFeatureAttribute ...` ``` * Last, but not least, using baselines, as discussed [here](https://googlesamples.github.io/android-custom-lint-rules/usage/baselines.md.html).
