(#) Usage of Android Wear BIND_LISTENER is deprecated !!! ERROR: Usage of Android Wear BIND_LISTENER is deprecated This is an error, and is also enforced at build time when supported by the build system. For Android this means it will run during release builds. Id : `WearableBindListener` Summary : Usage of Android Wear BIND_LISTENER is deprecated Severity : Fatal Category : Performance Platform : Android Vendor : Android Open Source Project Feedback : https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/new?component=192708 Since : 2.1.0 (April 2016) Affects : Manifest files Editing : This check runs on the fly in the IDE editor See : https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2016/04/deprecation-of-bindlistener.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/ManifestDetector.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/ManifestDetectorTest.kt) BIND_LISTENER receives all Android Wear events whether the application needs them or not. This can be inefficient and cause applications to wake up unnecessarily. With Google Play Services 8.2.0 or later it is recommended to use a more efficient combination of manifest listeners and api-based live listeners filtered by action, path and/or path prefix. (##) Example Here is an example of lint warnings produced by this check: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~text src/main/AndroidManifest.xml:10:Error: The com.google.android.gms.wearable.BIND_LISTENER action is deprecated [WearableBindListener] <action android:name="com.google.android.gms.wearable.BIND_LISTENER" /> ------------------------------------------------------------ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Here are the relevant source files: `src/main/AndroidManifest.xml`: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~xml linenumbers <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" package="com.example.helloworld" > <uses-sdk android:targetSdkVersion="22" /> <application android:label="@string/app_name" android:allowBackup="false" android:theme="@style/AppTheme" > <service android:name=".WearMessageListenerService"> <intent-filter> <action android:name="com.google.android.gms.wearable.BIND_LISTENER" /> </intent-filter> </service> </application> </manifest> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ `build.gradle`: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~groovy linenumbers apply plugin: 'com.android.application' dependencies { compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-wearable:8.4.0' } ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 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/ManifestDetectorTest.kt) 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, `ManifestDetector.testWearableBindListener`.

(##) Suppressing You can suppress false positives using one of the following mechanisms: * Adding the suppression attribute `tools:ignore="WearableBindListener"` 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"> ... <application tools:ignore="WearableBindListener" .../> ... </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="WearableBindListener" 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 'WearableBindListener' } ``` In Android projects this should be nested inside an `android { }` block. * For manual invocations of `lint`, using the `--ignore` flag: ``` $ lint --ignore WearableBindListener ...` ``` * Last, but not least, using baselines, as discussed [here](https://googlesamples.github.io/android-custom-lint-rules/usage/baselines.md.html).
