checker-qual-android contains annotations (type qualifiers) that a programmer writes to specify Java code for type-checking by the Checker Framework. The checker-qual-android artifact is identical to the checker-qual artifact, except that in checker-qual-android annotations have classfile retention. The default Android Gradle plugin retains types annotated with runtime annotations in the main dex, but strips out class-retention annotations.

There is a newer version: 3.42.0-eisop5

/**
 * This annotation is used on a formal parameter to indicate that the parameter is not leaked
 * (stored in a location that could be accessed later) nor returned by the method body.
 *
 * For example, the parameter of {@link String#String(String s)} is {@code @NonLeaked}, because
 * the method only uses the parameter to make a copy of it.
 *
 * This annotation is currently trusted, not checked.

// This is a type qualifier because of a Checker Framework limitation (Issue 383), but its hierarchy
// is ignored. Once the stub parser gets updated to read non-type-qualifiers annotations on stub
// files, this annotation won't be a type qualifier anymore.
