Is it possible to get details with the Android Studio lint tool?

Question

I use lint to check an Android app project:

gradlew lint

It shows the following:

> Task :app:compileOfficialDebugJavaWithJavac
Note: Some input files use or override a deprecated API.
Note: Recompile with -Xlint:deprecation for details.

The process generates two files: lint-results.html and lint-results.xml. I checked both files, but could not find any information related to deprecated API. Is it possible to generate more details about deprecated API in these two files?

Here's an example "build.gradle" I marked up:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 26
    defaultConfig {
        multiDexEnabled true
        applicationId "com.boxpik.android"
        minSdkVersion 17
        targetSdkVersion 19
    ...
    tasks.withType(JavaCompile) {
        options.compilerArgs << "-Xlint:all"
    }
}

dependencies {
    implementation fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
    androidTestImplementation('com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.2.2', {
        exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-annotations'
    })
...

In this example, I added options.compilerArgs << "-Xlint:all" to build.gradle.

This gave me a bunch of Lint warning in my Android Studio "Build" window:

                          ^
C:\xyz\PoolToScoreDetailFragment.java:55: warning: [deprecation] ProgressDialog in android.app has been deprecated
    private ProgressDialog pDialog;
            ^
C:\xyz\PoolToScoreDetailFragment.java:346: warning: [deprecation] ProgressDialog in android.app has been deprecated
            pDialog = new ProgressDialog(application);
