According to Android Studio Documentation - Lint We can write lint.xml this way:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<lint>
<issue id="ObsoleteLayoutParam">
<ignore path="res/layout/activation.xml" />
<ignore path="res/layout-xlarge/activation.xml" />
</issue>
</lint>
to white-list a specific path, but the doc does not specify if the path is relative or absolute. From the appearance of the sample It seems to be relative but it does not specify what the path is relative to. This is even more confusing when I have several source paths set up in build.gradle.
