In my app, I am using Pull TO Refresh list view library. I had designed layouts for all screens respectively. When I ran lint on my project, in one of my layout file for xlarge screen, it gave me fatal error:

Class referenced in the layout file, com.handmark.pulltorefresh.library.PullToRefreshListView, was not found in the project or the libraries

While in same layout file for other screens, it is giving no error at all. Also, I had used same library in other layouts of my file, where it does not give any error. It is giving same error for Google Maps api as well. My project targets Google Api level 16 and I had checked, all libraries are added to it. But,the error doesn't go away even on cleaning project.

This is a lint bug and you can safely ignore it. Lint is meant to help, not to hinder your development time. Change the lint Errors to warnings and you can compile and run the app just fine. I don't recommend turning it off because it helps to keep your code cleaner.
