I want to know that how can I find the files (java files, Kotlin files, xml files) in a big Android Project having hundred of files.
Like since yesterday I am trying to find a Kotlin file inside my project which is associated with a xml file. I was somehow able to find the xml file but now I don't know in which Kotlin file this xml is used.
It consumes a lot of time to search for files when you are working on a big project which is built by other people so is there any way I can easily navigate files in Android Studio.
Please let me know it will be very helpful and will save lot of my time!
If you know the file name then do Double shift and then write the name of the file.
Or if you have found the xml file then do write click on the xml file in the project structure and then click find Usages menu or shortcut is Alt+F7
Menu : Edit -> Find -> Find to open find a search box or On a Windows or Linux based machine use shortcut Ctrl + Shift + F to search any string in whole project. ...
On OSX use the Command key instead of Ctrl .
Use Ctrl + F combination for Windows and Linux to search in current file.

For example, I want to search a file whose name is "module-product.js" to rename it.
But there are lots of files whose names started with "module-".
How to quickly find the specific file in Visual Studio Code?
Ctrl+P and enter details into the popup that you would like to search for! You can prefix the search with # to search for a function.
Others (on a mac) include;
⌘+T Show all Symbols
⌃+G Go to Line...
⌘+P Go to File...
⇧+⌘+O Go to Symbol...
A secret feature of VSCode is the explorer filter.
Cmd-Shift-E (or clicking the sidebar) focusses the explorer. Typing some characters shows only files or directories whose names contain the given characters. Esc clears the search.
As usual, you can use Up- and Down-Arrow to navigate the displayed file list and Cmd-Down to open the currently highlighted file.
I know from Intellij IDEA. Hide .iml files that I can hide from the Project Tool Window specific file extensions on all directories. However, I have unsuccessfully tried to hide specific files (e.g. mymodule/blah.tgz) without getting all tgz files to hide as well. In Settings -> Editor -> File Type, at the bottom, I have tried specifying full and relative paths (e.g. ~/projects/mymodules/blah.tgz) without luck.
How can I achieve this? Is this supported at all? I'm using IntelliJ 14 Ultimate.
Please see the following comment.
How to hide unnecessary files from intellij project view?
I usually use the scope support in Idea to filter in/out files/folders in project tool window and other windows, i.e. Find.
I hope this helps.
I have a couple Android Studio projects that are similar, and I want to know exactly where their source files differ. What is an easy way to do that?
Right click file/directory/project/module > click compare with > give the path to compare
EASY WAY TO FIND PATH : ( considering both projects are open in Android Studio)
Switch to project you want to compare > right click file/directory/project/module > copy path > paste it back in select path dialog.
BETTER to copy path first.
Verified : Android Studio 1.5.1
In Android studio 3.4.2 you can do by right click on
Select Android : app → Compare Directories select proper path for your files and done.
In Android Studio Bumblebee : app → Compare With or Ctrl+D :)
I'm highly recommend Compare Directories Plugin for Android Studio 2+.
Allows the fast comparison of two directories or archive files (jar,
zip, war... and also tar/gz) based on file contents. Compared
directories/archives are shown in a tree view to give a better and
easier-to-read overall view of the differences.
Installation:
Open: File > Settings > Plugins
Click on the button “Browse repositories”, find the “Compare Directories” plugin in the available plugins list, right click on it and choose install.
General usage instructions:
Execute the Compare Directories... menu command, select two directories or zip/jar/tar files containing files with the same file names and see the comparison results on the opened Compare Directories panel:
Files and directories are shown depending on the differences in their
contents: identical, different by blanks only, non-significantly
different, different, left-only, right-only.
Compared text file can be then edited within IDEA.
Compared text file differences can be then viewed with the usual IDEA diff window.
Compared class bytecode differences can be also viewed with the usual IDEA diff window.
Files and directories can be copied from one side to the other.
You will find many more details in the plugin page:

In Visual Studio 2012, I tried to do some search in:
Find in Files->Entire Solution, then I get quite a lot results from files in
C:\Uses\myusername\AppData\Local\Temp\
. The files take the name like tmpE11.tmp.cs or tmpFBEE.tmp.cpp, the contents are identical to some of the files in my solution.
My guess is that it is caused or auto-generated by some crashes, but why are they reachable by the search? I doubt if I can simply delete them or not.
Maybe this is related to a bug reported, where lots of tmp files created and are then included in the Find Results. If I clear the 'Miscellaneous Files Folder' the search does not include the temporary files.
To display the 'Miscellaneous Files Folder' (see https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/36bhtx7w.aspx):
List item
On the Tools menu, click Options.
In the Options dialog box, expand the Environment node and select Documents.
Select Show miscellaneous files in Solution Explorer.
Specify the number of documents you want to appear in the folder.
In Visual Studio 2013 you can limit the contents to 0 which effectively prevent inclusion.
Is there an existing plugin or tweak that speeds up the "Go To File" search in Netbeans ? Compared to Eclipse, Netbeans search is way too slow specially if one has multiple large size projects.
I know I can use CTRL+O for "Go To Type" but often I need to search for other file types like XMLs, property files etc. across thousands of files in multiple projects.
I installed the Quick Search plugin but even that doesn't search for non Java file types.
You can focus on the Project Tree and simply type the file name which you want to looking for. Press Up/Down to select if more than one file match your search.
Or use keyboard shortcut to open the search file form:
Windows/Linux:
Alt+Shift+O
Mac OS:
Control+Shift+O
The best way to search and open file in netbeans -
Press CTRL+O and type file name you are looking for, it will search in current projects and list matching files
why not right click on the project and click 'find'?
I can only recommend using the Open File Fast plugin

You can install the recent file list plugin
This plugin is not as powerful as the intellij but to simulate the same behavior (open the recent files with ctrl+E):
After install the plugin assign the Ctrl+E shortcut to the "Recent Files" action: Tools->Options->Keymap->Search "Recent Files" and assign Ctrl+E shortcut
If all you need is to search by file name/pattern, then I suggest plugin "Quick File Search" http://plugins.netbeans.org/plugin/70267
Press Ctrl + Shift + H.
On the screen appear option scope. Click on this text-box and choose the project you want to find needed text snippets, or you can find all of the projects. I am using Netbeans 8.1 Best regard !
