Run Sonar Scanner

In this article, we will scan our first android project using sonarqube.

Android Project

First, I have created a new android project. In MainActivity.java I have written following code

package com.example.demo_application;

import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.util.Log;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

  @Override
  protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    Log.v("METHOD", "onCreate called");
  }

  @Override
  protected void onStart() {
    super.onStart();
    Log.v("METHOD", "onStart called");
  }

  @Override
  protected void onResume() {
    super.onResume();
    Log.v("METHOD", "onResume called");
  }

  @Override
  protected void onPause() {
    super.onPause();
    Log.v("METHOD", "onPause called");
  }

  @Override
  protected void onStop() {
    super.onStop();
    Log.v("METHOD", "onStop called");
  }

  @Override
  protected void onDestroy() {
    super.onDestroy();
    Log.v("METHOD", "onDestroy called");
  }

  @Override
  protected void onRestart() {
    super.onRestart();
    Log.v("METHOD", "onRestart called");
  }

}

Sonar Scanner Properties File

First create a new file sonar-project.properties inside the same android project. The file contains the following settings

sonar.host.url=http://localhost:9000
sonar.sourceEncoding=UTF-8
sonar.projectKey=android-sample-1
sonar.projectName=Sonar_demo_project_1
sonar.projectVersion=1.0
sonar.scm.disabled=True
sonar.sources=src/main/java
sonar.language=android
sonar.java.binaries=build/outputs/apk/debug

In the above code,

First line specifies the URL of the sonarqube server.
Second line specifies the encoding used in the source code.
Third parameter is the project key, which is the unique id given to the project.
Fourth parameter is the project name.
Fifth parameter is the version of code.
Sixth parameter is the path of source code.
Seventh parameter is the language in which your code is written.
