Starting from Android Gradle Plugin 3.0 [LINK] you can make following configuration in build.gradle file: android { lintOptions { fatal 'StopShip' } } This will break the build as long as there exists a StopShip comment in codebase. Watch the exact minute [this video] of Tor Norbye's "Kotlin Static Analysis with Android Lint" talk, where he talks about the feature.

You would need to define a separate lint detector for that. Lint highlights overrides which should call super, but don't, by use of @CallSuper annotation, which is what this Lint detector enables: [LINK] Granted that might be something new to learn first, but writing custom Lint rules is not that hard.

Cites eqtèöck · 2020-03 · Stack Overflow · on “Custom Lint annotation detector is not triggered”
I am trying to write my first Lint rule. For now I just want to detect the use of the annotation @AnyThread . I have created a module to implement my custom rule. The gradle file for this module is (I use the gradle plugin version 3.6.1): targetCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8 sourceCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8 dependencies { implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar']) compileOnly "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jdk7:$kotlin_version" compileOnly 'com.android.tools.lint:lint-api:26.6.1' compileOnly 'com.android.tools.lint:lint-checks:26.6.1' testImplementation "com.android.tools.lint:lint:26.6.1" testImplementation "com.android.tools.lint:lint-tests:26.6.1"
