I am using Android Studio Dolphin and one day I noticed that it doesn't show res folders for external libraries. You can see it at the screenshot below:
At the same time everything works as expected in Intellij Idea or on colleague's laptop:
I have tried the most obvious solutions as invalidating cache, reinstalling the AS etc, but without success. I couldn't find any docs or issues regarding showing res folders. Is it possible to return showing res folders somehow?

After upgrading Android Studio to 4.1, Find Usages has stopped working. When I highlight a function and try "Find Usages" I no longer see a window showing different call stacks that led to function being called
Also, View --> Tool Windows missing a bunch of options (including Find, Run, Debug).
I have tried "Invalidate Caches and restart" but no change. I also triued reinstalling Android Studio, but still no improvement.
Any suggestions on how to fix this?
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

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

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:
%USER%\.AndroidStudio[Preview]_X.Y_
Mac:
~/Library/Preferences/AndroidStudio[Preview]_X.Y_
~/Library/Caches/AndroidStudio[Preview]_X.Y_

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.
A while ago my designed Flutter app was running like it should in simulation (virtual device) in Android Studio. After some updates of both Flutter as Android studio I am not able to get the app in simulation. I am new to Flutter and Android studio (have a little knowledge of Xcode, 2 apps in the store) so I have looked at stackoverflow first to find a solution. All tried suggestions did not worked for me and I am hoping somebody can help me.
I have an original version of the project which was running in simulation mode. Now I am working in a duplicated version to find out how to get things up and running again. It worked before but why does Flutter or Android Studio give an error now? The folders and content do exist. Perhaps it is a simple thing to solve but it is not in my knowledge.
What to do to solve the error message I get as shown in the screendump?
The problem seems to be with the resources,
this should help.
Android Studio error: cannot resolve symbol in Xml
Or try to run "flutter clean" (usually solves many problems)
Flutter studio sometimes does not resolve those (no idea why).
Try opening the same Android project in Android studio and check it from there.
Once back, try File->Invalidate Caches/Restart
If they exist and the name is right (without extension), then it could be it.
