Bug: when ObjectAnimator is created outside of current code block, there are false-positive warnings of not starting it

[AndroidDeveloperLB]

V0.26 Example:

class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)
        val view = findViewById<View>(android.R.id.content)!!
        ObjectAnimatorEx.ofFloat(view, View.ALPHA, 1f).setDuration(500).start()
    }

    object ObjectAnimatorEx {
        @JvmStatic
        fun <T> ofFloat(target: T, property: Property<T, Float>, vararg values: Float): ObjectAnimator {
            return ObjectAnimator.ofFloat(target, property, *values)
        }
    }
}

Using this doesn't help, BTW:

object ObjectAnimatorEx {
    @JvmStatic
    fun <T> ofFloat(target: T?, property: Property<T?, Float?>, vararg values: Float): ObjectAnimator {

Sorry about that. I searched "This animation should be started with #start()" and found only yours, but now that I read it, it doesn't mean that it's yours. Just no idea what is the inspection name...

Anyway, I've reported it on the issue tracker now: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/254222461

I'm sorry for wasting your time.
