Android studio only show blank files - android-studio

I closed the emulator tab and all of a sudden no files can be viewed, except the first row of one .arb language file.
It doesn't matter what kind of file it is, it's not showing up and I can't write anything in the text window.
I quit android studio and restarted the computer but it still the same.
How can I fix this?

Close the project, then open it via file-> open... and select your root folder.
After that it works again!

Can Android studio go to previous opened file after i Ctrl+F4 to close current?

It's an interface problem using Android Studio.
Like any other multiple tab application, using Ctrl+F4 to close the current window/ file gets you back to the previous one.
For example, if i edit MainActivity.java and switch to activity_main.xml I'm used to the behavior that when I click Ctrl+F4 to close the activity_main.xml it goes back to the previous file which is MainActivity.java but for some reason (even after I changed the keymap to Visual Studio) it goes back to a random file.
Does anyone know how to change this behavior?
Before you answer
I'm not looking for shortcut key to reopen last opened window.
The file is still opened, i'm just looking for the regular behavior that the focus will go to the last file automatically after closing file.
File > Settings > Editor > General > Editor Tabs > When closing active editor > Activate most recently opened tab
UPDATE: Consider the other answer first.
Okay, I've understood what you're trying to achieve. You want IDE to track the context in real-time. I think that is not present currently. I would first ask in the JetBrains IDEA Community Forum and then go ahead and open a Feature-request on the IntelliJ IDEA issue tracker. They actually respond quite fast.
Good Luck!
P.S. Android Studio, in fact, uses IntelliJ IDEA underneath

Recovering files deleted by Android studio?

I'm working on an app at the moment, and one of the final steps was to get it built and signed in Android studio.
Unfortunately I was having some problems, and one of the recommended solutions was to remove the project and start again, however when I did this it took all of my files with it, and they're not in the trash (OSX) either.
Is there anyway to recover these files, or are they lost forever? :(
In my case I was looking for the file named 'landing_page222.java' which I deleted one day back.
Following Steps can help you to find your previously deleted files in Android Studio.
Step 1: Right Click on the folder where you deleted the file
Step 2: Find option for Local History and Click Show History.
Step 3: Find your File from Given List.
Hopefully it will be available in Instance
Step 4: Copy the code back as per need.
You can try:
looking for those files in the file system (perhaps they are still in your Android Studio projects folder)
looking in your OS's temp folder
using Android Studio's history feature (right-click on the Project tab > Local History > Show history)
Click whereever you want in the left frame (for example "drawable" file is ok) and then press CTRL+z. You are going to see "Undo delete popup" window.
And as you understand, when you press CTRL+z in Android Studio, which (XML or Java) file is active, you will undo the action on that tab. So, if you click any file on the left side and press the CTRL+z combination, you will undo the action at the file structure.
Go to View > Recent Changes > Click on the file you want to recover > Click "Revert"
Im late but this works. Go to the folder where u want to recover. right-click, local history. select ones you deleted and click revert. :)

Android Studio duplicate Version Control

I am creating a new project with Blank Activity in Android Studio.
Then VCS > Enable Version Control Integration > Git > OK.
After that I am closing the project and immediately I am opening it.
I am opening Setting > Version Control and it turns out that settings duplicate.
If I close and open the project again, one more backup line appears. And the quantity of such duplicating lines increases with every start.
Please, could you explain me, if it is normal or I do something wrong? Thanks a lot for you response.

Android Studio project folders not showing

I am unable to see the folders that are physically existing, this is the case.
But in actual fact I have other folders as welll
So what can I do?
Above your the file directory view in Android Studio is a drop down which currently is most likely set to Android. Change it to Project and you should be able to see all your files.
I tried the all the approaches mentioned above but can't fix rather than fix it by a hardcore approach -
Step 1. Close your Android studio.
Step 2. Delete .gradle and .idea folder from your project directory.
Step 3. Open your project and you will see the files again.
go to View menu then click tool window then after click on project
view->toolwindow->project
it worked for me
for me doing the following works:
from menu go to: View--->tool windows ---> Project
then click the little gears icon (settings) you will see an option to change the empty middle packages. it looks like this:
disable "Hide Empty Middle Packages" under the Project View settings dropdown and then it should make everything show up.
If anyone ever does what I did maybe this will help:
Android Studio does not like it when module names begin with a number. I was learning from some tutorials and named the first module "1-name" and the next one "2-name". Setup was fine and it ran, but only the "Gradle" Scripts entry would show in the navigation window in "Android" mode.

Visual Studio 2012 doesn't open previously opened file when after starting

This is the default behavior in VS2010. However, after I installed VS2012, I noticed it doesn't open those files I opened last time. Although in the Solution Explorer it remembers my last position, which projects are collapsed, but no file is opened in the editor area after I open the solution. I can't find such setting in opitons. Any help is appreciated!
Try deleting the .suo-file (same folder as .sln-File). May fix the problem. Make also sure that you have writing-permissions for .suo-file.
