I opened a folder in Android Studio which contains a Kotlin script file (.kts). I configured a JDK as SDK in Project Structure (but I added no gradle files), and running the file as Kotlin script works fine. However the syntax highlighting is only PARTIALLY working, see below example (Linux Mint 19.3 and AS 4.1.3):
Some of the stuff missing:
unused variable should be gray (val unused)
to/forEach keyword should be yellow and italic
misspelled variable names should be red
bad style such as extra spaces should be underlined
etc.
What's even going on here? Is this some sort of "fallback" mode?
Any way to use the "full" syntax highlighting from normal Android projects, so I can spot mistakes earlier?
For reference, this is what it "should" look like (pasted into a random Android project):
Renaming the file to end in *.main.kts (scriptname.main.kts) enabled full highlighting for me!
I get this type of issues from time to time with IntelliJ IDEA. I haven't found the reason why it happens, neither do I know the 100% working solution. But here are the options that usually help me solve it:
Restart IDE
Invalidating caches: File > Invalidate Caches...
Re-import the project. Remove the .idea folder and the project.iml file and try to import the project again.
Update the IDE. Last time I had this issue, nothing helped but updating IDEA to 2021.1.
I hope some of these options will help.

I must be missing something terribly obvious here: Since some recent Android Studio update/reinstall (I can't remember) I have to manually set the JRE that should be used - otherwise, an invalid path will be used and the test will fail.
Where do I manage this list? I would like to remove all invalid entries and duplicates.
Currently Intellij Idea does not provide a way to remove the list of JRE Entries. You can try the followings.
First uninstall Intellij Idea editor.
Go to the directory C:\Users\ if you are using windows, remove the folder/s like .IdeaIC. or .IdeaIU.
Reinstall Intellij Idea and select the appropriate JDK version.
OR You can do the following.
As per the above screen shot point to you JDK location.
It will solve the problem.
After following #Sambit's hints and looking around some more I found the solution: The list is stored in (in my case) ~/.AndroidStudio3.4/config/options/jdk.table.xml. There, each list item is represented by a <jdk> element. After removing all the unwanted entries and restarting Android Studio (complete restart, not just close/open project) I now have list that looks much nicer:
I have not tried what happens when you mess up the XML structure so take care!
I'am a newby in android studio and learning a lot, but now have a problem where i cannot seem to find the answer to.
In android studio you can visualy drag&drop your screen.
I have seen it can do al lot (although you sometimes need the xml) but for me it is not working at all.
I mean i cannot drag&drop any widgets on the screen at all.
Tried changing the theme: no help (really tried a lot of them)
Tried a complete new project: same story
Tried other APK verion: same story
Tried Invalidatd caches / restart: no help
Even with a new project (EmptyActivity) it add's a android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView and then gives error's on that
(Failed to find style 'coordinatorLayoutStyle' in current theme).
It also gives an error on layout_height/layout_with not being there. But they are there for each widget.
Please do not missunderstand: when i execute the project i runs just fine (both on phone and emulator) but the visual builder for the screen.....:-(
Does somebody knows how to solve this.
If more info is needed please ask.
Any help is more than welcome.
There are several things that could be causing this:
Your caches could be messed up. Try going to
File > Invalidate Caches / Restart ... (I know that you already tried this, but posting for future views.)
Also, make sure that you don't have Drag-n-Drop with ALT pressed only checked in your Settings (Appearance & Behavior - Appearance).
Finally, in a default project created in Android Studio, there are two XML files created for each layout. For example, content_main.xml is embedded within activity_main.xml. Make sure that you are using content_main.xml for your design work.
In the end i fixed it by changing the SDK version in de gradle file.
still do not understand why it was wrong as studio genereded it that way but now it works so.... for me: case closed.
Does anyone know how automatic build systems work in 3083 right now? Because I am struggling to get it to do the right thing. (p.s. I am not an expert st3 customizer so I am probably just doing it wrong.)
My TypeScript.sublime-build file lives in ../Packages/User and contains:
{
"cmd": ["/usr/local/bin/tsc"],
"file_regex": "^(.+?) \\((\\d+),(\\d+)\\): (.+)$",
"selector": "source.TypeScript"
}
When I edit a .ts file the syntax highlighting is for TypeScript and that is also what is displayed in the bottom right corner. So from that I deduce that ST3 is correctly identifying the desired syntax for the file (although I am not sure where that happens.)
When I choose the TypeScript build system by hand and click CMD-B it runs the build and displays the output in the console, as I expected.
When I have "automatic" build system and I open a .ts file or change to a .ts file that was already open, ST3 again correctly identifies the syntax (bottom right in the window.) However when I click CMD-B it runs the last build method that I happened to have used.
I thought that the idea with automatic is that it would choose the build system based on the syntax identified via the file extension.
Does anyone understand this problem or correct my assumptions?
Never figured out the problem. But I fully uninstalled ST3 and reinstalled it, with the package control and typescript packages and nothing more, and now it seems to work. Oh well. I guess not all the bugs are out yet.
Following some links here I tried to rename a project. I went to c:\path\to\AndroidStudioProject and renamed the folder there, then found the .idea file and changed that. Now the project loads but java files are missing! However, on clicking java (in the bar at the top), then com I can see them each with a small red j.
I then looked in module Gradle build where there were 3 files, one with the new name and 2 older ones which stated that they did not belong so I deleted them, copying the compile info into the new one. Naturally on doing a Sync Now I get a bunch of errors.
Why does this have to be such a complex operation? Can anyone assist?
After you rename the folder, open the project in Android Studio. From there, right click something that needs to be renamed (e.g., module, package names, etc.) and use Refactor->Rename from the context menu. Keep doing this until everything that can be refactored is.
You will need to manually change the value of applicationId in the app-level build.gradle. Obviously, things like #string/app_name will also have to be changed manually. I recommend making these manual adjustments from inside Android Studio rather than directly editing the files. That way you'll know immediately if you break something.
I recently installed Visual Studio on a laptop and the syntax highlight fails to change Classes colors.
I tried exporting and importing the full, complete set of settings and it is still looking like that.
EDIT
I tried those websites with schemes and decided to try one, the Humane scheme, and this is how the sample code looks in my laptop after installing those settings:
However, this is how it is supposed to look:
Note the lack of highlight in class names.
What could it be causing this?
I'm starting to think that's another setting at another place which causes this.
Finally, it worked by resetting user data, running this from the Visual Studio Command Prompt
devenv /Resetuserdata
Found the hint here:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/11988265/1213246
Changin syntax highlight could be done through the menu Tools - Options - Environment - Font & Colors. It's a try and test approach that is not much improved from earlier versions of Visual Studio.
Fortunately, today there are entire sites with themes that simply need to be choosen and installed
I suggest you to visit http://studiostyl.es/ where you can find thousands themes or, for more generic go to http://www.hanselman.com/blog/VisualStudioProgrammerThemesGallery.aspx
