Different lint.xml for different build types in Android Studio?

Question

I want to use different lint.xml files for release and debug build types in Android Studio. So, how can this be achieved?

Here's what worked for me:

tasks.whenTaskAdded { task ->
    if (task.name.startsWith("lint")) {
        if (task.name.toLowerCase().endsWith("release")) {
            task.doFirst {
                android.lintOptions.abortOnError = true
            }
        } else {
            task.doFirst {
                android.lintOptions.abortOnError = false
            }
        }
    }
}

In my case I needed to turn on abortOnError for release builds so that I can develop freely but catch lint errors quickly on my CI (if they slipped).
