In Android Studio, why android.util.ArrayMap.getOrDefault link to kotlin.collections.Map.getOrDefault?

Question

I am using android.util.ArrayMap, which implements java.util.map, whose getOrDefault() function requires API level 24.

But I was not aware of these limit until crashes happened on low API devices, no warning showed in Android Studio.

Even when I click getOrDefault() function, I jump to kotlin.collections.Map.getOrDefault()

I am wondering why is this happening?

I hope this click could lead me to the correct definition of ArrayMap#getOrDefault(), and there is supposed to be a warning when I call this function.

This warning works fine for me, try check your lint settings in: preferences -> editor -> inspections -> Calling new methods on older versions and make sure you have turned it on with some noticeable severity (Error is the best in my opinion).

With this settings i can see the error in Android Studio, hope it helps.
