In any activity of my project, if i do some changes and then save that activity i got the message "Running android lint has encountered a problem."

This is the my error log :

The following steps helped me to solve the same issue.

  1. On My Project -> Context Menu -> Android Tools -> Fix Project Properties

  2. Changing to latest version in AndroidManifest.xml 

    android:targetSdkVersion="21"

Maybe just one of them is enough :).
