Is there a separate FindBugs plug-in for Android Studio?

Question

According to this, FindBugs supports several IDEs as a plug-in, including IntelliJ-Idea, on which Droidio (Android Studio) is based.

So does this mean that the IntelliJ-Idea plug-in can be installed into Droidio, or is there a distinct one somewhere (or there isn't one yet, but one will be needed)?

Answer 1

This answer probably comes a bit late as Droidio is officially called Android Studio by now, and we're already at beta version 0.8.2, but I've just checked that installing the regular FindBugs-IDEA plugin works fine.

Also, I'm not aware of a distinct version of the plugin specifically for Android Studio, which would sort of defeat the purpose of basing Android Studio on IntelliJ IDEA if you had to adapt all IDEA plugins.

There are QAPlug plugins to manage code quality using PMD, Checkstyle and Findbugs.

Ref: http://qaplug.com/

They are also compatible for android studio.

3-) Click 'Browse repositories' button.

You will see QAPlug plugins like Checkstyle, FindBugs, Hammurapi and PMD..

5-) Select plugins whichever you want and install them.

6-) Click 'Apply' button and restart android studio.

You are ready to use plugins which are selected by your side.

To use these plugins;

7-) Select your code block or files which have your codes and Right Click --> Analyze --> Analyze Code

Selected plugins work and show you code analysis results on Analysis Tab.

an update in case anybody bumps into this thread like me... here's the plugin link. https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/3847?pr=idea

for linux I just extracted the zip file in my android-studio/plugin/ folder and restarted my IDE. After the restart you could see the findbug menu by right clicking a resource.
