title: Android lint is ignoring my lint.xml, skipping checks I am trying to enable
body: <p>I am trying to use Android lint to check some things about my project. It seems to be ignoring the lint.xml file that I am giving it, making it impossible for me to enable checks.</p>
  
  <p>I am using Android Studio on Ubuntu 14.04, but I am just calling ~/Android/Sdk/tools/lint from the command line.</p>
  
  <p>I am doing:</p>
  
  <pre><code> $ lint --config GF/lint.xml --html lintCheck.html GF   
   Scanning 7.5.0: .
   Scanning 7.5.0 (Phase 2): 
   ... (and so on) ...
   Wrote HTML report to file:/home/ray/Projects/jj/lintCheck.html
   Lint found 26 errors and 198 warnings
   $ 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The report lists all of the checks that are not enabled. Here is the GF/lint.xml file that I created:</p>
  
  <pre><code> $ cat GF/lint.xml 
   &lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt;
   &lt;lint&gt;
       &lt;issue id="HardcodedText" severity="error" /&gt;
   &lt;/lint&gt;
   $
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Here are the ways I have tried to call lint. In all of these cases, all of the checks say something like:</p>
  
  <pre><code> RelativeOverlap
   Disabled By: Project lint.xml file
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So, where is the project lint.xml file that it is referring to? I have searched in ~/Android and in all my projects and this file does not appear anywhere else.</p>
  
  <p>RelativeOverlap
  Disabled By: Project lint.xml file</p>
  
  <p>What I have tried:</p>
  
  <pre><code> $ lint  --ignore MissingTranslation -Wall --html lintCheck.html GF
   $ lint  --ignore MissingTranslation -Wall --enable all --html lintCheck.html GF
   $ lint  --ignore MissingTranslation -Wall --enable Correctness,Security,Performance,Usability --html lintCheck.html GF
   $ lint  --ignore MissingTranslation -Wall --enable Correctness --html lintCheck.html GF
   $ lint  --ignore MissingTranslation -Wall --enable RelativeOverlap --html lintCheck.html GF
   $ lint --enable RelativeOverlap --html lintCheck.html GF
   $ lint --config GF/lint.xml --html lintCheck.html GF
   $ lint --config GF/lint.xml --html lintCheck.html GF
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Any suggestions would be appreciated.</p>
