For

TypedArray

in Android, I added the following extension function to handling parsing the values:

fun TypedArray.parseStyledAttributes(parse: (typedArray: TypedArray) -> Unit) {
    try {
        parse(this)
    } finally {
        recycle()
    }
}

However the call-site still gives a lint warning "This typed array should be recycled after use with #recycle()". Is there anything I could do besides adding

@SuppressLint("Recycle")

everywhere?

Another option could be making use of `core-ktx`’s

TypedArray.use

extension

🤔 actually

use

doesn't appear to remove the lint warning.

File a bug on lint

😬 if I must. Actually,

Context

has

withStyledAttributes

which calls recycle as a part of core ktx. I'm just going to stop trying to reinvent extension functions that already exist 🤦🏻

I had some issues with the

"Recycle"

warning in the past, but those seem to have been resolved recently with Android Studio 4.0 and the 4.0.0 Gradle plugin. Maybe it was fixed from this? https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/140344435

Ah, that's something to look forward to 😄
