Android studio not launching suddenly after restarting my MAC - android-studio

Suddenly after restarting my Mac ,i ended up not able to open android studios ,just stuck at loading state as showing in image

To solve this problem I had to move (or delete) the AndroidStudio2021.1 folder from /Users/username/Library/Application Support/Google.
Now it starts again.
I suggest to move the folder instead of deleting it. Some settings must be restored from there

Android studio messed up every xml file. How to resolve it? [duplicate]

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_
~/Library/Logs/AndroidStudio[Preview]_X.Y_
~/Library/Application Support/AndroidStudio[Preview]_X.Y_
Linux:
~/.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.

Indexing freeze with message: Indexing paused due to batch updated

I've updated Android Studio to version 3.2.
After that update one of my projects don't want to index.
It freezes with the message
"Indexing paused due to batch update".
How can I fix this?
File gradle-wrapper.properties:
distributionBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
distributionPath=wrapper/dists
zipStoreBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
zipStorePath=wrapper/dists
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.4-all.zip
File gradle-properties:
org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx1536m
org.gradle.parallel=true
org.gradle.daemon=true
org.gradle.configureondemand=true
I faced the same issue with Android Studio 3.2. Invalidated the cache and restarted Android Studio, but it still did not work for me. Then I just re-imported the project and it worked!
Just Restart (File > Invalidate Cache & Restart > Just Restart)
I faced this issue in Android Studio 3.+ when forcefully close Studio in between some gradle process.
Pressing the play button worked for me. It finished indexing and installed the apk in seconds. The catch is that I have to do this every time and batch does not seem to update.
Click on the play button to the right of the progress bar.
Press the play button to the right of this message and the issue would resolve.
You have to do it every time, because right now the problem is systematic and there is no solution to stop it from appearing.
I invalidated the cache and restarted Android Studio. That worked for me.
You can do this by:
File > Invalidate Caches / Restart > Invalidate and Restart
I faced this issue many times and what I did everytime is:
Firstly, click on the processing bar on the bottom of the android studio.
A pop up window will appear on the screen like this-
Click on the red circled Play button and let the process complete.
Please note that you will have to repeat this everytime you face this issue because this is some kind of bug or something in AS version 3.2
Optional: click on (-) minimize button if you want to the pop-up to minimize
I faced the same issue, it seems that Android Studio messes up the cache.
Go to File > Invalidate Caches and Restart
Then on the Pop Up that appears choose Invalidate and Restart
Seems like there is an issue with Android Studio itself. I fixed the issue for now by following these steps:
Click File > Invalidate Caches / Restart
On the pop up choose Invalidate and Restart
Invalidated the cache -> restarted Android Studio -> re-import the project from the project location. Its worked for me
This is an issue in Android Studio since v3.2, I have posted an issue in Android Studio Issue Tracker, it's being finally accepted. Waiting for them to solve it.
Here is the issue tracker, you can follow up from here.
please star the issue as well to help solving it.
Stay Connected to internet.Let the batch to be updated.Wait one time and it will be easy the next time. OR...Click on the play button.
I saw this error and none of the solutions posted here worked for me. I had a specific scenario (see below), and I could get rid of the problem in my specific scenario. Not sure if the OP had the same scenario, by here are my two cents:
In my specific case I had two projects open in Android Studio, where one of the project was from a sshfs-mounted directory (the other project was local to my computer). I believe that made Android Studio throw the "Indexing paused due to batch updated" message on, strangely, both the projects.
To get rid of the error on the local project, I had to close the remote mounted project. On closing that project, the message was gone for my local project.
Hope that helps.
Close your project
Go to your project root directory,
Find and delete the xxx.iml file, the .idea and .gradle folders
Re-open your project using Android Studio.
I had the same issue and I fixed by do the following:
Click File --> click on Invalidate Caches / Restart
You will see a pop up--> select Invalidate and Restart
I did it by exporting the project into zip file and open it like normal. you can export by clicking the file navbar and choose export to zip file
I faced the same Issue but the situation which lead to this was different:
I created a remote branch on the project's repository on GitHub and it was empty.
And then I checkout to that branch locally while android studio was running.
I then deleted the local repository and created it again but this time it was not empty. Further I pushed the code to the remote branch as well.Now I thought that it will start the project normally but again the same happened.it resulted in an IDE error.
To solves this issue I deleted that local repository and again re-imported it.Than it started correctly.
None of the other answers worked for me. Not even pressing the "play" button. All that worked was closing the project and re-opening it via "Open an existing Android Studio project".
The effect only lasts for a single session. As soon as I close and re-open the project, or AS 3.3, the problem re-appears.
Deleting C:\Users\<user>\.AndroidStudio3.3\config\options\recentProjects.xml (before starting AS 3.3) is an alternative way to accomplish the same thing.
EDIT
Upon upgrading to AS 3.3.2, this solution no longer worked. However, after an "Invalidate Caches and Restart", the problem disappeared.
Click on play button twice and then go to file->Invalidate Caches / Restart...
repeat this process every time whenever you face this issue.
I solved it by deleting all the *.iml files and the .idea folder
I faced the same issue, because my AS version is not the same with gradle plugin's version.
This issue coccus randomly in Android Studio V3.+ [Issue tracker:https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/118523471] .
There might be multiple reasons for this issue but it is mainly either ".gradle" related or ".iml" file related IntelliJ/Android Studio configurations.
Possible solutions:
Click on play icon under the processing bar (on the bottom of the android studio). But be aware that multiple clicks may also kill the the indexing process.
Invalidate cache (File -> Invalidate Cache & Restart -> Just Restart)
Clean ((Build -> Clean project) and Rebuild (Build -> Rebuild Project)
Sync Project with Gradle Files: Available options (depending on the Android Studio version) at
Tools -> Android -> Sync Project with Gradle Files
button available at top left corner in Android Studio's toolbar
File -> Sync Project with Gradle Files
Delete the .idea & .gradle folders and .idea & .iml files from the project root directory and re-import the project
I have faced this issue quite a few times and got rid of then by using one or more of above solutions.
But in some scenario nothing of the above solutions may work (as recently I get trapped-in). In this case I have to recreate the same project from scratch and copied back the required files into it. But ideally this should not be the solution. Please let me know if any other possible solution is there.
Invalidate cache and restart did the work for me. Now, the build is compiling in seconds.

Virtual device target (Android null) - Android Studio

I am facing an issue which I am trying to solve for 2 days now and seem to be missing something out.
I have reinstalled Android Studio into custom location to save some space of my C: drive, and made the necessary adjustments to my environmental variable. However, the AVD is not picking up my new installation in the correct way. The following picture shows the problem:
I am in complete loss on where to start to troubleshoot this problem and get to figure out what I have done to miss it up.
Any thoughts ?
Try to Sync project with Gradle files
If that doesn´t help, restart and invalidate caches and sync again.
