EDIT: meant TypedArray#recycle and not TypedArray#release

Lint should show a warning in this case, as implements AutoClosable and the use of TypedArray#close() require API level 31. Consequently the IDE should also not suggest the refactor to try with resources unless minSdk is at least 31.

Maybe the issue is that api-versions.xml (from platforms/android-33/data/api-versions.xml) only mention implements AutoClosable, and not the close() method

Opened b/263076143 on D8 backporting TypedArray#close() to TypedArray#recycle(), to make try with resources for TypedArray supported on all API levels.

Checked api-versions.xml for more occurrences where implements AutoCloseable was added together with a close method after 19 where AutoCloseable was introduced, and found

		<class name="android/content/ContentProviderClient" since="5">
		        <extends name="java/lang/Object"/>
		        <implements name="java/lang/AutoCloseable" since="24"/>

close also added in 24, as an alias for release.

		<class name="android/drm/DrmManagerClient" since="11" deprecated="30">
		        <extends name="java/lang/Object"/>
		        <implements name="java/lang/AutoCloseable" since="24"/>

close also added in 24, as an alias for release.

		<class name="android/media/MediaDrm" since="18">
		        <extends name="java/lang/Object"/>
		        <implements name="java/lang/AutoCloseable" since="28"/>

close also added in 28, as an alias for release.

		<class name="android/media/MediaMetadataRetriever" since="10">
		        <extends name="java/lang/Object"/>
		        <implements name="java/lang/AutoCloseable" since="29"/>

close also added in 29, as an alias for release.

		<class name="android/net/wifi/p2p/WifiP2pManager$Channel" since="14">
		        <extends name="java/lang/Object"/>
		        <implements name="java/lang/AutoCloseable" since="27"/>

close also added in 27, but not as an alias, as there was no similar method before (actually close is the only method).

Opened b/264391149, b/264392833, b/264392414 and b/264392341 to backport these in D8 as well.

I forgot to mark this bug when this was fixed last week, by this CL: https://cs.android.com/android-studio/platform/tools/base/+/125598ae3efac36da61631ad2e87a010ee064df5

It's fixed in Giraffe/8.1 but I think we should backport it to Flamingo/8.0 as well.

Søren, it sounds like you want to start desugaring these methods (good idea); maybe there should be a different tracking issue for that.

Thanks Tor. I have b/264405783 for tracking the desugaring. When done I will check that Lint no longer complaints. It should not, as the desugaring will tell Lint that these the close methods are new supported.

Thank you for your patience while our engineering team worked to resolve this issue. A fix for this issue is now available in:

• Android Studio Giraffe Canary 1 (2022.3.1.1)
• Android Gradle Plugin 8.1.0

We encourage you to try the latest update.

If you notice further issues or have questions, please file a new bug report.

Thank you for taking the time to submit feedback — we really appreciate it!
