Running Android Lint has encountered a… Failed. java.lang.NullPointerException

Question

I just added Google Play Service Library to my project and when I am making a modification in one of my project files I am keep getting an error dialog from eclipse:

Answer 1

This is a workaround (not exactly the solution). In Window > Preferences > Android > Lint Error Checking, uncheck "When saving files check for errors".

EDIT:

Please use the above steps only if you don't care about linting your code. These steps are for turning off Lint checking, not correcting the reported lint errors.

Answer 2

I would suggest for you to check on the warnings on your project. Resolving them one by one may get rid of the startup error.
