Gradle build: Execution failed for task ':app:lint'

I'm using Android Studio 2.0 and I was trying to running my program when something strange happened. I ran the build command of the gradle and I got this error:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':app:lint'.
> Lint found errors in the project; aborting build.

Fix the issues identified by lint, or add the following to your build script to proceed with errors:
...
android {
    lintOptions {
        abortOnError false
    }
}
...

* Try:
Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.

BUILD FAILED

Total time: 4.197 secs
Lint found errors in the project; aborting build.

Fix the issues identified by lint, or add the following to your build script to proceed with errors:
...
android {
    lintOptions {
        abortOnError false
    }
}
...
10:41:28: External task execution finished 'build'.

And so... What the hell is that? I'm supposed to do to solve this problem adding the code to the gradle.build, but the question is: why I got this error message?

Please save me guys!

Add this in your app/build.gradle file

android {
    //...
    lintOptions {
        abortOnError false
    }
}
