Run lint when building android studio projects

Question

I would like to be able to run the lint task when I\'m building projects with the android studio to ensure the lint rules are being followed.

I have tried using task

Answer 1

Just modifying answer of @Yoel Gluschnaider

For me if I use Val it shows error like this : Could not set unknown property 'lintTask' for object of type com.android.build.gradle.internal.api.ApplicationVariantImpl.

So I replace it

applicationVariants.all {
    def lintTask = tasks["lint${name.capitalize()}"]
    assembleProvider.get().dependsOn.add(lintTask)
}

and it work fine!!
