How to get rid of deprecation warnings when providing backwards compatibility?

How one can get rid of linter deprecation warnings? For example, the annoying NetworkInfo:

warning: [deprecation] NetworkInfo in android.net has been deprecated
Solution

  • In order to get rid of such deprecation warnings, when providing backwards compatibility,
    one has to remove the import, to which one cannot apply @SuppressWarnings("deprecation"):

    // import android.net.NetworkInfo;

    And then use it's fully qualified class name android.net.NetworkInfo instead of NetworkInfo. The point is, that one can only apply @SuppressWarnings("deprecation") to methods, but not imports.
