I've recently begun using annotions to help reduce my lint warning count to filter out valid use-cases of warnings/errors.
As an example, let's assume I am 100% correct in having a variable that is never assigned a value (it's being done via GSON serialization but never x = 2 type assignment). Lint reports this as unused variable. I can add the @SuppressWarnings("unused") annotation and lint skips this.
Sometime in the future, would I be able to do an assignment to the x variable, and then have lint notify me that the @SuppressWarnings("unused") flag is no longer necessary? If not, I'd potentially have unneeded code in my application which I would like to avoid.
Any thoughts?
