“Cascade if can be replaced with when” warning but sometimes it’s a false positive, for example if I have an

if

condition (at least 3 branches) where the checks are things like

Build.VERSION.SDK_INT > 12

and then branch depends on such a later SDK level. How to suppress this warning?

All warnings can be suppressed by clicking the right arrow on the warning list. Keyboard: ALT ENTER, select the warning, right arrow

I only have an Android example. Maybe there’s a way to contrive something similar in pur Kotlin:

if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < Build.VERSION_CODES.N) {
    getVolumePathPre24(volumeId)
} else if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < Build.VERSION_CODES.R) {
    getVolumePathApi24Pre30(volumeId)
} else {
    getVolumePathApi30(volumeId)
}

The called functions have the appropriate annotations like

@RequiresApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.N)

Why is that a false-positive? Converting it to

when

would give the exact same behavior since it's else-if

All warnings can be suppressed by clicking the right arrow on the warning list.

Ah, thanks, I was wondering why sometimes I was seeing the suppress options, and other times not.

Ah, that looks like an Android bug? Not sure who this should be reported to

Thanks @ephemient I’ve added some code there that minimally reproduces the issue.
