in the output you can see how lint is called: 'Arguments for subprocess.call: ['/opt/adt/sdk/tools/lint', '.', '--xml', './lint-result.xml']'

try running it from the console.

not sure what your project structure looks like, but you can always run lint separately (like in the gradle example) and then use --xml <lin-output.xml> Then it will use the already existing lint output to remove the resources
