AnnotateFormatMethod
This method uses a pair of parameters as a format string and its arguments, but the enclosing method wasn't annotated @FormatMethod. Doing so gives compile-time rather than run-time protection against malformed format strings.

The problem

This method passes a pair of parameters through to String#format, but the enclosing method wasn’t annotated @FormatMethod. Doing so gives compile-time rather than run-time protection against malformed format strings. Consider annotating the format string with @com.google.errorprone.annotations.FormatString and the method with @FormatMethod to allow compile-time checking for well-formed format strings.

static void log(String format, String... args) {
  Log.w(format, args);
}

void frobnicate(int a, int b) {
  if (a < b) {
    // Whoops: didn't provide enough format args.
    log("%s < %s", a);
  }
}

@FormatMethod
static void log(@FormatString String format, String... args) {
  Log.w(format, args);
}

WARNING: There’s a very high chance that manual intervention will be required after applying this fix, either due to existing uses of the method not passing in valid format strings, or methods which delegate to this one requiring the @FormatMethod annotation as well. Please ensure that everything depending on this code still compiles after applying.

Suppression

Suppress false positives by adding the suppression annotation @SuppressWarnings("AnnotateFormatMethod") to the enclosing element.
