I am following the tutorial on this(http://tools.android.com/tips/lint-custom-rules) page. I am stuck at the step:

lint --show MyId

I get the following error message, any ideas?

Could not load custom rule jar file /Users/me/.android/lint/CustomLintRule.jar java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: com.android.tools.lint.detector.api.Issue.create(Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/String;Lcom/android/tools/lint/detector/api/Category;ILcom/android/tools/lint/detector/api/Severity;Ljava/lang/Class;Ljava/util/EnumSet;)Lcom/android/tools/lint/detector/api/Issue; at googleio.demo.MyDetector.(MyDetector.java:16) at googleio.demo.MyIssueRegistry.getIssues(MyIssueRegistry.java:15) at com.android.tools.lint.client.api.JarFileIssueRegistry.(JarFileIssueRegistry.java:93) at com.android.tools.lint.client.api.JarFileIssueRegistry.get(JarFileIssueRegistry.java:70) at com.android.tools.lint.client.api.LintClient.addCustomLintRules(LintClient.java:911) at com.android.tools.lint.Main.getGlobalRegistry(Main.java:642) at com.android.tools.lint.Main.run(Main.java:204) at com.android.tools.lint.Main.main(Main.java:113) Invalid id or category "MyId".

Looks like you're compiling against one version of the API and running against another. See the note in the create issue section about using Tools 22. - brindy
I compiled the jar with lint-api-23.0.2.jar and also my lint version 23.0.2 when i check at my teerminal by lint --version. Still getting the same error. - guydemossyrock
Can you post the code you've got? I am guessing you're calling the 7 argument version of #create since that's the one it can't find - but the Tools 22+ version takes 8 arguments, which means your classpath at build time might have something errant about it. - brindy
Actually i am using the exact same project on the tools.android.com/tips/lint-custom-rules. So my code is, public static final Issue ISSUE = Issue.create( "MyId", "My brief summary of the issue", "My summary of what the detector looks for", "My longer explanation of the issue", Category.CORRECTNESS, 6, Severity.WARNING, new Implementation(MyDetector.class, Scope.RESOURCE_FILE_SCOPE)); - guydemossyrock

I was same too.

  1. I'm using mac and AndroidStudio 0.8.6.
  2. I exported "customrule.jar" in Eclipse using lint-api.jar in "/Applications/Android Studio.app/sdk/tools/lib".
  3. Eclise project for the rule is compiled well with the lint-api.jar.
  4. But, when I run "lint --show MyId", I got the same error.

So I downloaded adt-bundle and I tried with "lint-api.jar" in it and the error was gone.

I think "lint-api.jar" included in AndroidStudio is something wrong...
