Run lint when building android studio projects

To runt lint and analyze your project, simply select Analyze > Inspect Code.

You should get a nice window with all issues.

Also check Run lint in Android Studio for more information.

I did a little more research, try adding this to your build.gradle.

lintOptions {
      abortOnError true
  } 

There are many options that you can apply to the build.gradle

If you just want to configure your Android Studio project to run the lint check before the default run configuration without affecting how your gradle tasks are configured, you can follow these steps.

1. Open the run configurations drop down and choose edit

2. Select your app run configuration

3. Press the '+' to add a new step

4. Choose "Gradle-aware Make"

5. Type 'check' and choose the option with your app module name and check. (Mine is :app:check)

6. Press the up arrow to move the new check step before the existing Gradle-aware make step

Now, Android Studio will run the lint check and fail the build if any lint errors occur.
