Private method only used from inner class
Reports private methods which are only called from an inner class of the class containing the method. Such methods can be safely moved into that inner class.
Example:
public class Outer {
public static void main(String[] args) {
new Inner().run(args[0]);
}
static class Inner {
void run(String arg) {
// Method isEmpty() is used from Inner class only
// consider moving it to the Inner class
if (!isEmpty(arg)) {
System.out.println("Argument is supplied");
}
}
}
private static boolean isEmpty(String s) {
return s != null && s.trim().isEmpty();
}
}- By ID
Can be used to locate inspection in e.g. Qodana configuration files, where you can quickly enable or disable it, or adjust its settings.
