Is there a way to disable the xml warnings?

Question

I just did an update of my SDK and now eclipse is giving me all sorts of totally unwanted warnings in my xml... for example I have a RelativeLayout that doesn't have an id or a background (it's actually a transparent button) and eclipse is warning me that it's a useless element. Is there a way to turn this idiocy off?

TIA

In `RelativeLayout` what you are doing ,do this layout have child. — Herry, Apr 06 '12 at 04:59
If you can put your xml also it clear me your Issue.Because if Lint tool give warning that means you are doing some thing wrong in xml and may be your layout is not optimize. — Herry, Apr 06 '12 at 05:00
No no, my layout is fine. Whoever designed this piece of nonsense just didn't anticipate every way in which someone might use a layout. Anyway, I've turned it off and everything is back to fabulous. — Yevgeny Simkin, Apr 06 '12 at 06:02

According to the documentation at http://tools.android.com/recent/ignoringlintwarnings you do this by including the tools xmlns:

xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"

And then adding a tools:ignore annotation in the relevant elements:

<RelativeLayout
    tools:ignore="UselessParent"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:layout_margin="30dp"
    android:layout_centerInParent="true">

This still works perfectly in 2022.
