I installed Android Studio, and it offered me to increase the amount of memory, which I agreed to, but after that the studio stopped working altogether. Everything I found on the Internet does not help, I have tried to reinstall the application more than once. Files on the path "C:\Users\your_user_name\AppData\Roaming\Google\AndroidStudio " deleted. But they are not even created after reinstalling the application. The only file that I found is "java_error_in_studio 64.hprof" in user folder

My project works and builds successfully on my Mac but I cloned from github and although Android Studio appears to work normally, the project wouldn't build. I setup this project using Kotlin DSL.
Gradle sync failed: could not find extension implementation class org.jetbrains.kotlin.idea.scripting.gradle.roots.GradleBuildRoot
Tried invalidate cache, removed all .gitignore rules but it's still the same.
Any ideas?
I had the same issue (Note : Running Linux/Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and Android Studio 4.1.1).
Things I tried that did NOT work and error persisted :
Invalidate Caches / Restart
Reboot
Nuking the .gradle and .m2 folders
Android Studio re-install
Downgrade kotlin gradle plugin from 1.4.21 to 1.4.10
What did work :
Moving the project to a different folder/location on disk and open Android Studio
As soon as I moved the project back to the original location I would start getting the same error. This lead me to believe it was some sort of caching issue, separate from the caches "invalidated".
Solution :
Android Studio / Intellij creates a hidden folder called :
On Linux :
AS : ~/.cache/Google/AndroidStudioX.X
IJ : ~/.cache/Jetbrains/IntelliJIdea2020.X
On Mac :
AS : ~/Library/Caches/Google/AndroidStudioX.X
IJ : ~/Library/Caches/Jetbrains/IntelliJIdea2020.X
On Windows:
AS : %HOME%\AppData\Local\Google\AndroidStudioX.X
IJ : %HOME%\AppData\Local\Jetbrains\IntelliJIdea2020.X
Inside this folder are other various folders, however I removed the relevant workspace file (workspace/[project name].[hashed value].xml) after which problem went away when opening the project again, from its original location.
So it appears that "Invalidate Caches / Restart" does not "Invalidate" all caches!
I hope this resolves you problem!
Update
As this answer has had quite a few upvotes it would appear that this might be a ongoing bug with Intellij. If anyone has this problem, before resolving with the suggested solution consider checking there isn't an open issue on the bug tracker and submitting a new issue : https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issues
Feel free to edit this update with issue if one is opened.
Update 2
Issue opened by #GeniusRUS :
https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-44937
For Mac users delete the following file:
~/Library/Caches/Google/AndroidStudio4.1/workspace/<your_project_name>.58dfbe93.xml
PS: Thanls #Mark Keen for solution.
basically i deleted .idea folder and then invalidate and restart ... error goes away and built successfull.
This probably isn't the "correct" solution, however, it worked for me. I had to download a newer (Canary) Version of Android Studio to get this error message to go away and to finally build my Android project once again. I found this YouTrack JetBrains issue where people also suggested reverting to previous, known working, versions of Android Studio to get their projects to build again.
This is a SUPER frustrating issue and I hope that one of the approaches resolves your build issues for you!
Here are the Android Studio Versions Download page for convenience.
After moving projects and files around I had also the honor to enjoy this error in Android Studio 4.1.1 (under Windows 10). Unfortunately, none of the above solutions worked for me but they helped me to narrow down the issue.
So, I found that there is a folder with workspaces under:
%HOME%\AppData\Local\Google\AndroidStudio4.1\workspace\
There are a couple of *.xml files named like the android projects. I deleted the one that didn't work.
Then switched back to Android Studio and used the Files > Invalidate Caches / Restart... feature. Android Studio restarted and the problem was fixed.
Bonus: How I found the workspace folder?
I used the Procmon.exe from Sysinternals where I filtered by the Process Name = studio64.exe. I then used the elephant-with-the-arrow button (Sync Project with Gradle Files) in Android Studio. At the end of the recording there was the workspace folder that Android Studio used just before Gradle failed.
I added a "problem" ticket to YouTrack, where I described my case in detail.
The support agent said the issue has already been fixed in the IDEA 2021.1 platform.
And also gave recommendations for this case
Link to issue
https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-44937
I fixed the issue by changing the root project directory name. You can try that.
I have an odd problem with Android Studio.
Here is how my class file looks like on Android Studio
And here is what it looks like on a text editor.
Any ideas why it is happening? I have tried closing then reimporting the project, invalidate caches and restart, clean project, build project, delete .idea folder and .iml files. All of my files are broken when opening in AS but looks fine on text editors.
UPDATE: Quicker solution by the user Hong given below:
Delete the caches folder: C:\Users\my_user_name\.AndroidStudio3.3\system\caches
=====================
Here's what worked for me.
Close Android Studio
Go to C:\Users*your username*
Locate the Android Studio settings directory named .AndroidStudioX.X (X.X being the version)
Rename it to something like old.AndroidStudioX.X
Start Android Studio, and when it asks if you want to import settings, choose the old directory
This should fix the issue.
Thanks to the Answer of Asim, I found deleting folder caches fixed the problem for my case (all gradle files in Android Studio show contents that have nothing to do with the actual contents of these files):
C:\Users\my_user_name\.AndroidStudio3.3\system\caches
Edit[2020-07-17]:
This is still happening with Android Studio 4.0, so I have to delete the following folder to fix this problem:
C:\Users\my_user_name\.AndroidStudio4.0\system\caches
Edit[2021-11-08]:
This solution no longer works for Android Studio Arctic Fox. Please see the new answer by Nikunj Paradva. I have used the new solution and it works.
Solution for Android studio Arctic Fox and Higher Versions
Steps
Exit Android Studio
Delete caches folder from
C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Local\Google\AndroidStudio2020.3 // For Arctic Fox
Open Android Studio and your code has being Perfect
Check your Android studio version and Target that version folder at below location
C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Local\Google
Note : AppData folder is Hidden in Windows
Does this situation warrant a bug report?
Yes! In fact this problem has been reported to the Android Studio team, and anyone willing to help us investigate is welcome to contribute there. Thanks!
You can also try the workaround in Hong's answer.
Close Android studio and then delete the caches folder: C:\Users\user_name\.AndroidStudio3.4\system\caches
Try to delete the Android Studio IDE cache data listed below per your platform:
Windows:

Updated my android studio days ago and was faced with the same problem. Solved it by uninstalling android studio and reinstalling the previous version set up I had left the SDK intact so I didn't have to re-download them working perfectly guess I won't be updating again soon.
Thanks to #Henry for confirming, by several similarly observed whacko problems the past two days, that my problem is indeed caused by a bug in AS. Follow his links to become convinced yourself. I'll let Henry file the bug report.
So there's no fixing my problem in situ without great effort--wait for bug fix.... which could take awhile.
So here's what I did to work around it and get back to work (it took less than 10 minutes):
create new project with no activity
(Do the rest inside the IDE, not using Windows or DOS.)
copy all .java files into the java folder in the IDE (it's ...\app\src\main\java\)
copy all res folders into the res folder (...\app\src\main\res\)
copy all asset files into main folder (...\app\src\main\assets\)
copy androidmanifest.xml into main folder (...\app\src\main)
do a global replace of old project name to new project name
I didn't change any of the files in the new project's ...\app\ folder because compilation was normal.
(I'll tell you this: when I saw what I THOUGHT were mangled FILES and looked at the History and saw nothing resembling what should have been there, I got a sick feeling, but I immediately opened Windows Explorer, selected all of the project's java files, and opened them, en masse, with Notepad++. Whew. No problems seen. (I didn't really think AS could actually mangle the files and I doubt it ever could. But it did wake me up at 5am!))
copy your android project to another location then open it from android studio
I changed my projects location and it solved my problem. This happened when my system was accidently shut down due to power failure.
Extra context: using LibGDX engine in android studio. Updated android studio today and avd no longer works.
After I build my project and run the AVD the app crashes. I have gone into settings and tried to open the app from there which occasionally opens up the app and then promptly crashes (and the screen will pop up with a message that says the app keeps stopping - screenshot attached). Additionally, I get this error: Emulator: Started GRPC server at 127.0.0.1:8554 - which I have checked through the following stackoverflow links but have struggled to fix the issue still. I have searched through stack overflow and have tried:
cleaning the project and rebuilding it
restarting android studio and then rerunning the code
restarting the avd
creating a new avd
updating SDK tools (though I am uncertain if I have the right tools installed, will attach image of what I have installed)
updating android studio (running version 3.6.1)
invalidating caches and restarting (after deleting the app off of the emulator, and after reinstalling
the app on the emulator)
For context, I was looking at these stack overflow posts and have tried the suggestions that I mentioned
above, but I could have missed something:
Android Studio cannot find cerfile, emulator doesn´t start
Why do I get this GRPC Error "WARNING: EmulatorService.cpp:448: Cannot find certfile" when I start the emulator?
GRPC Server error while running andoid app on emulator
Error type 3 Error: Activity class {} does not exist
Any help would be appreciated, and I would be happy to edit and provide more information if needed!
This is the snapshot of the error in the AVD mentioned above.
This is a link to the picture of the SDK tools installed on my computer.
SDK Tools installed
Edit:
I tried a new android studio project without LibGDX and the AVD worked fine.
I've followed this video for the setup of my LibGDX project: https://l.messenger.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3Dp_hp6vMeewQ%26list%3DPL6gx4Cwl9DGBsvRxJJOzG4r4k_zLKrnxl%26index%3D70&h=AT2_tH6gq08lg9Xnl0q0C6DJ5bnjySsbAvu0KmR9Jr6m8g8xGLzK5k39bMl5jdpQgFYHQcnd6t_rqixKPG6pTO1gYzPoBMN1MC_qzF8jUqtQITrsA-gU46c9zLHt90nZY8_ACbeRK33DmDvfGGQrYA
I've followed this video series for the tutorial I am working on - the AVD broke on this video: https://l.messenger.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3Dp_hp6vMeewQ%26list%3DPL6gx4Cwl9DGBsvRxJJOzG4r4k_zLKrnxl%26index%3D70&h=AT2_tH6gq08lg9Xnl0q0C6DJ5bnjySsbAvu0KmR9Jr6m8g8xGLzK5k39bMl5jdpQgFYHQcnd6t_rqixKPG6pTO1gYzPoBMN1MC_qzF8jUqtQITrsA-gU46c9zLHt90nZY8_ACbeRK33DmDvfGGQrYA
So the links I posted and what I tried (cleaning the project, deleting the app from the emulator and invalidating caches and restarting android studio) actually do work.
The problem was that android studio did not understand my .tmx file (the file that will provide the map for my app) for some reason.
I realized this after clicking on the tmx file, as android studio displayed a prompt about downloading dependencies for the tmx file. Then all I did was download the suggested dependencies and then cleaned, deleted and invalidated/restarted and the AVD worked.
I have an odd problem with Android Studio.
Here is how my class file looks like on Android Studio

I changed my projects location and it solved my problem. This happened when my system was accidently shut down due to power failure.
I've created a C# project and wanted to publish it. As working in MS Visual studio 2012, I followed the 'How to publish : http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/31kztyey.aspx '.
So i selected all the right folders on my file share device, and it build well.
But after i installed the project through the setup.exe, i try to run the .appliction but it doenst show me the form i created, while in taskmanager the process with the description 'Vshost32.exe' can't be killed, if i say 'end process' it reappears, but still doenst show me my project.
I ran the project (before publishing) in both debug mode and release mode. I tried to publish via cd-rom instead of file-share, but same problem appeared.
How can i publish my poject now for other company members without MS Visual Studio on our file share device, so they can also run it ? ( i don't think, simply copying the .exe out of the bin\release folder is a clean way to do it)
