Analyze a project locally
To be able to run the analysis, make sure the project can be successfully built and run in the desired environment, that is, a JRE is properly configured, project dependencies are installed, build scripts or startup tasks are executed, and so on.
Qodana provides two options for local analysis of your code. Qodana CLI is the easiest option to start. Alternatively, you can use the Docker command from the tab.
Assuming that you have already installed Qodana CLI on your machine, you can run this command in the project root directory:
Here, the QODANA_TOKEN variable refers to the project token.
To start, pull the image from Docker Hub (only necessary to get the latest version):
Start local analysis with source-directory pointing to the root of your project and QODANA_TOKEN referring to the project token:
In your browser, open Qodana Cloud to examine inspection results. Here, you can also reconfigure the analysis, see the Inspection report section for details.
Android Gradle plugin compatibility
The compatibility table is available on the Android Developers website. However, Qodana and Android Studio may differ. For example, Qodana 2023.2 used version 2022.3 of Android Studio, so you need to choose the Android Gradle plugin version that will be suitable in this case.
