Question

I disabled the Android Lint warning ‘HardcodedText’ for a specific XML file (it’s for a numeric key pad with fix text for the digits).

I can’t find a way to re-enable it on this file (‘Restore Defaults’ or so), neither in Windows > Preferences > Android > Lint Error Checking nor in Project > Properties > Android Lint Preferences.

Any idea on how to re-enable a disabled warning on file level?

Found it out myself: Lint puts the file “lint.xml” to the project with the dependant items.

<lint>
  <issue id="UnusedResources">
    <ignore path="res\layout\my_layout.xml" />
  </issue>
<lint>

Unfortunatelly, editing and saving this file is not enough. You have to close and re-open the project or even Eclipse.

HTH others with the same issue….
