Eclipse is letting me export my project with errors

Question

I set android:minSdkVersion="7" while my code had GridLayout s (which were added in api level 14).

Now, unless I click on my gridlayout in the java file, make a change, then save it - eclipse won't say that there is an error and I can export the project and create an apk from it.

I would really like eclipse to be able to detect when a method etc has been added in an api higher than your minimum. Is there anything I can do?

Lint options are under preferences - Window->Preferences->Android. In order for Lint to check every time you have to enable the "Run full error check when exporting app and abort if fatal errors are found" Also you might have to see if Lint is enabled for the project you are exporting. In order to check it right click on the project and go to Properties -> Android Lint Preferences
