However, when I ran sudo /home/ubuntu/android-sdk-linux/tools/lint /var/opt/gitlab/git-data/repositories/root/00-boilerplate-android.git/00-boilerplate-android834b3e843e041787a9ac7a06aef14a766ff2ed811468056770964 where the latter directory has the same contents as boilerplate_android on my mac, then I got the following:
app/src/main: Error: "main" is a Gradle project. To correctly analyze Gradle projects, you should run "gradlew :lint" instead. [LintError]
1 errors, 0 warnings
So then I followed https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=60416 and I ran lint --disable LintError boilerplate_android on mac and I got the following output:

However, when I ran sudo /home/ubuntu/android-sdk-linux/tools/lint --disable LintError /var/opt/gitlab/git-data/repositories/root/00-boilerplate-android.git/00-boilerplate-android834b3e843e041787a9ac7a06aef14a766ff2ed811468056770964 where the latter directory has the same contents as boilerplate_android on my mac, then I got the following:
No issues found.
Any ideas what is the reason for the difference between android lint on mac vs ubuntu and how to resolve?
When you run on ubuntu, you have disabled the errors, on mac you did not i.e: On Mac (venv)Govindas-MacBook-Pro:boilerplate_android govindadasu$ lint .
And on ubuntu: sudo /home/ubuntu/android-sdk-linux/tools/lint --disable LintError
