Hey, I'm writing a library and I was wondering if it was possible to have an annotation or something to define the max length a String should be and if it goes over that just give an IDE warning?
I'll of course add built-in checks but I just thought this would be a little nice to have some warnings if developers go over how long the String should be.

Have you tried make custom lint rules.?
You can check for example Timber's lint module, in it there's a lint check that pops a warning if a tag-argument is longer than 23 chars

Hope this helps 🙂
