I just added Google Play Service Library to my project and when I am making a modification in one of my project files I am keep getting an error dialog from eclipse:

'Running Android Lint' has encountered a problem. Failed.

So, I enabled Error Log (Window -> Show View -> Error Log) tab and I found a warning and an error line:

Error: Failed: com.android.ide.eclipse.adt

    at org.eclipse.core.internal.jobs.Worker.run(Worker.java:53)

and a Warning: Fatal Error: No API database found at null

An exception stack trace is not available.

My application is working, but it is annoying to close the dialog each time I make an edit and save.

This is a workaround (not exactly the solution). In Window > Preferences > Android > Lint Error Checking, uncheck "When saving files check for errors".

EDIT:

Please use the above steps only if you don't care about linting your code. These steps are for turning off Lint checking, not correcting the reported lint errors.

    Ignoring errors (in this case, a corrupted workspace) is not even close to a solution. I wouldn't even call it a workaround. – arkon Aug 08 '14 at 13:02

    It is precisely a workaround and he was upfront about it not being a solution. Not sure how your comment got 8 upvotes. – Stephen Kidson Mar 04 '15 at 23:48
  • I agree it's not even a workaround, the question is how to run lint without given erro, not how to disable lint – Maurix Aug 17 '16 at 08:02

I would suggest for you to check on the warnings on your project. Resolving them one by one may get rid of the startup error.
