can be passed the expected reference type of <code>int</code>, but actually reference a different
type of resource, such as a <code>R.string</code></a> resource. </p>
<p>For example, add {@link android.support.annotation.StringRes @StringRes} annotations to check
that a resource parameter contains a
<a href="{@docRoot}reference/android/R.string.html"><code>R.string</code></a>
reference. During code inspection, the annotation generates a warning if a <code>R.string</code>

<h2 id="thread-annotations">Adding Thread Annotations</h2>
<p>Thread annotations check if a method is called from a specific type of
<a href="{@docRoot}guide/components/processes-and-threads.html">thread</a>. The following thread
annotations are supported: </p>
<ul>
<li><code>@UiThread</code> </li>
<li><code>@MainThread</code> </li>
<li><code>@WorkerThread</code> </li>
<li><code>@BinderThread</code>
</ul>
<p class="note"><strong>Note:</strong> The <code>@MainThread</code>
and the <code>@UiThread</code> annotations are interchangeable so
methods calls from either thread type are allowed for these annotations. </p>
<p>If all methods in a class share the same threading requirement, you can add a single
<a href="{@docRoot}guide/components/processes-and-threads.html">thread</a>
annotation to the class to verify that all methods in the class are called from the same type of
<a href="{@docRoot}guide/components/processes-and-threads.html">thread</a>. </p>
<p>A common use of the <a href="{@docRoot}guide/components/processes-and-threads.html">thread</a>
annotation is to validate method overrides in the
<a href="{@docRoot}reference/android/os/AsyncTask.html">AsyncTask</a> class as this class performs
background operations and publishes results only on the UI
<a href="{@docRoot}guide/components/processes-and-threads.html">thread</a>. </p>
<h2 id="value-constraint">Adding Value Constraint Annotations</h2>
<p>Use the <code>@IntRange</code>,
<code>@FloatRange</code>, and
<code>@Size</code> annotations to validate the values of passed
parameters. </p>
<p>The <code>@IntRange</code> annotation validates that the parameter
value is within a specified range. The following example ensures that the <code>alpha</code>
parameter contains an integer value from 0 to 255: </p>
<pre>
public void setAlpha(&#64;IntRange(from=0,to=255) int alpha) { … }
</pre>
<p>The <code>@FloatRange</code> annotation checks that the parameter
value is within a specified range of floating point values. The following example ensures that the
<code>alpha</code> parameter contains a float value from 0.0 to 1.0: </p>
<pre>
public void setAlpha(&#64;FloatRange(from=0.0, to=1.0) float alpha) {...}
</pre>
<p>The <code>@Size</code> annotation checks the size of a collection or
array, as well as the length of a string. For example, use the <code>&#64;Size(min=1)</code>
annotation to check if a collection is not empty, and the <code>&#64;Size(2)</code> annotation to
validate that an array contains exactly two values. The following example ensures that the
<code>location</code> array contains at least one element: </p>
<pre>
int[] location = new int[3];
button.getLocationOnScreen(@Size(min=1) location);
</pre>
<h2 id="permissions">Adding Permission Annotations</h2>
<p>Use the <code>@RequiresPermission</code> annotation to
validate the permissions of the caller of a method. To check for a single permission from a
list the valid permissions, use the <code>anyOf</code> attribute. To check for a set of
permissions, use the <code>allOf</code> attribute. The following example annotates the
<code>setWallpaper</code> method to ensure that the caller of the method has the
<code>permission.SET_WALLPAPERS</code> permission. </p>
<pre>
&#64;RequiresPermission(Manifest.permission.SET_WALLPAPER)
public abstract void setWallpaper(Bitmap bitmap) throws IOException;
</pre>
<p>This example requires the caller of the
<code>updateVisitedHistory</code> method to have both read and write bookmark history permissions. </p>
<pre>
&#64;RequiresPermission(allOf = {
Manifest.permission.READ_HISTORY_BOOKMARKS,
Manifest.permission.WRITE_HISTORY_BOOKMARKS})
public static final void updateVisitedHistory(ContentResolver cr, String url, boolean real) {
...
}
</pre>
<h2 id="check-result">Adding CheckResults Annotations</h2>
<p>Use the <code>@CheckResults</code> annotation to
validate that a method's result or return value is actually used. The following example annotates
the <code>checkPermissions</code> method to ensure the return value of the method is actually
referenced. It also names the
<a href="{@docRoot}reference/android/content/ContextWrapper.html#enforcePermission">enforcePermission</a>
method as a method to be suggested to the developer as a replacement. </p>
<pre>
&#64;CheckResult(suggest="#enforcePermission(String,int,int,String)")
public abstract int checkPermission(@NonNull String permission, int pid, int uid);
</pre>
{@link android.support.annotation.StringDef @StringDef}
<h2 id="call-super">Adding CallSuper Annotations</h2>
<p>Use the <code>@CallSuper</code> annotation to validate that an
overriding method calls the super implementation of the method. The following example annotates
the <code>onCreate</code> method to ensure that any overriding method implementations call
<code>super.onCreate()</code>. </p>
<pre>
&#64;CallSuper
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
}
</pre>
<h2 id="enum-annotations">Creating Enumerated Annotations</h2>
<p>Use the {@link android.support.annotation.IntDef @IntDef} and
{@link android.support.annotation.StringDef @StringDef} annotations
