Gradle build: Execution failed for task ':app:lint'

Question

I'm using Android Studio 2.0 and I was trying to running my program when something strange happened. I ran the build command of the gradle and I got this error:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.  * What went wrong: Execution failed for task ':app:lint'. > Lint found errors in the project; aborting build.  Fix the issues identified by lint, or add the following to your build script to proceed with errors: ... android {     lintOptions {         abortOnError false     } } ...  * Try: Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.  BUILD FAILED  Total time: 4.197 secs Lint found errors in the project; aborting build.  Fix the issues identified by lint, or add the following to your build script to proceed with errors: ... android {     lintOptions {         abortOnError false     } } ... 10:41:28: External task execution finished 'build'. 

And so... What the hell is that? I'm supposed to do to solve this problem adding the code to the gradle.build, but the question is: why I got this error message?

Please save me guys!

Answer 1

Add this in your app/build.gradle file

android {     //...     lintOptions {         abortOnError false     } } 

Answer 2

1. Switch to project view
2. Then, project/app/build/reports/lint-results
3. Now, you will find the lint-result files in two formats - 1) xml and 2) html.

You can view these files as is. However, I find viewing the lint results in a browser to be easy on the eyes. Just right-click on the html file and choose view in browser.

It opens up like the image below in my Chrome browser.
