Asset studio is not showing in the res folder but showing in the search tab but when I try to open it from there nothing shows up.
The first time I open the android studio it had opened when I opened it from the search bar but not from the directory.
First: Check if the folder really exists.
Second: Check the visibility of folders.

I tried to add a new folder in android studio, but It hasn't created.
I click right mouse button on res folder -> new -> Android Resource directory (or just a directory) ->
write a name and click enter, but there is no new folder in android studio explorer. When I check res folder in windows explorer I found, that these folders are created, but I can't see them In android studio.
Honestly, I tried to create layout-large firstly, but then I discovered, that there is no way to see created folders in android studio.
What can it be? How can I fix this problem?
Thanks
if you need to see the created folders switch your project view from Android view to Project from the dropdown menu in order to see them. Android view allows you to see the default Android project resource folders only, any additional folders will not be recognized by the Android view.
I'm trying to use favorites and bookmarks with Android Studio 2.2.3 on Windows 7 in order to navigate through our code base.
I have openend one project, where the saving of favourites and bookmarks works fine. BUT when I open another project, while my first project is open as well and then close one of the 2 projects, the closed project loses all the favorites, bookmarks and which folders and tabs I had opened.
Also AS keeps asking me to add the VCS root everytime I start it.
Although I've searched I could not find any sources describing my problem.
I've copied all my projects into a new folder and gave myself all permissions to this folder, which did not fix my problem, so I think permissions are not the problem.
My assumption was, that Android Studio might have trouble if you use multiple instances.
So I went and tried to set it to only use one window:
But this setting keeps getting ignored and AS opens a new window for every project.
I reset all the settings for Android Studio by removing the folder C:\<username>\.AndroidStudio2.2.
Then I re-started Android Studio and didnt import any new settings.
With this configuration my problem still occurred.
In order to reproduce the 'bug' do this:
Open a project by File -> Open (NOT File -> Open recent!)
Add bookmarks
Open another project (while the first project is still open!) by File -> Open
Add bookmarks there as well
Close project 1 and re-open project 1 by File -> Open
All tabs / bookmarks / favorites should be gone at this point.
Vadim Kotov has confirmed that the problem happens with his Android Studio as well, so I suspect a bug in AS.
How can I fix the disappearing favorites, bookmarks, opened folders and tabs?
This problem seems to be a rather old bug in Android Studio:
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=172347
The bug is fixed in the Android Studio 2.3 BETA-release:
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=232670&thanks=232670&ts=1485023505
Basically Android Studio seems to overwrite the workspace.xml in the .idea-folder for a project with a default - workspace.xml everytime I use the Open - menu.
AS probably re-creates the whole .idea-folder and rebuilds the project, everytime I use the File -> Open-dialog.
Workaround:
Since I cant switch to another version of Android Studio due to company rules, I use the following workaround:
When you want to open a project for the first time, you have to use File -> Open
After that, ONLY use File -> Open recent in order to get into one of your projects
This will save the opened tabs, bookmarks, favorites and will open only one instance of AS in the forground instead of the background.
WARNING!
If you later click on File -> Open either because the recent-menu is filled too much, or you do it by accident, you still probably will lose your bookmarks, favorites etc...
My workspace for android studio project is in C:\AndroidStudioProjects.
I try this
Android Studio: Default project directory
but it's not working... plz help me to quickly access projects
As shown in the screenshot, there must be some configuration file to change that.
Looking for some hack. So that when I click the home button and it opens my specified directory.
for windows platform.
Create a project and save like that address:
/home/USER/Projects/AndroidStudio/MyApplication
So, the new future projects will be:
/home/USER/Projects/AndroidStudio.
This worked for me Android Studio 4.0.1:
Close Android Studio.
Navigate to C:\Users[Username].AndroidStudio4.0\config\options
Locate recentProjects.xml and open it.
Scroll down the page you will notice: <option name="lastProjectLocation" value="$USER_HOME$/AndroidStudioProjects" />
Change $USER_HOME$/AndroidStudioProjects to your desired location lets say desktop: $USER_HOME$/Desktop/
Reopen Android studio.
Android studio does not allow you to set the home directory. It is better to use recent project.
I followed the instructions here Change project name on Android Studio and while my project name in the project explorer changed, the project name in the top IDE bar does not(the very top left of the IDE window). I renamed the project by right clicking the project name, updated the manifest's app_name and package name.
This is a bug where some pointers in the duplicate project still point to the original project. I experience this only when using "Open Project" to bring the duplicate up in AS. This is solved by using the "Import Project" instead and then refactoring and renaming accordingly.
This brings up another issue, however. While the naming is correct, something is still pointing to the original, because launching either the original or the duplicate on the device replaces the other on the home screen.
With Android Studio off, I renamed the project folder in Explorer and restarted Android Studio and imported project. Now this created another .iml in the project folder so I went ahead and deleted the old .iml .
(it seems to have correctly changed the app.iml in src also)
I hope this is all there is to it.
this work for me:
Close android studio
Change project root directory name
Open android studio
Open the project(not from local history but by browsing to it)
What is the Android Studio equivalent of Solution file in (.sln) file in Visual Studio ? I created a project in Android studio and closed it. Now I am not sure which file should I open to reload it into Android studio.
Use the import project function on the build.gradle file in your project root (not the folder itself!) to open the project again in Android Studio.
I think ".iml" is the extension for Android studio projects.
".project" is for Eclipse projects
Opening a saved project on another drive
There is no such single project file that needs to be opened but rather the directory where the whole project is stored.
Find the directory where you have saved your project
In Android Studio -> Files -> Open->(click on the directory name where your files/project is stored)
Except using android studio unique method(import), you can also double click .iml file to open corresponding project.
If you using Windows operating system, you could right click .iml file in file explorer, and select studio64.exe to open it, then android studio start the project!
At least in the version I have, like intellij the "android studio project files" are stored in a folder called '.idea' in the root of your workspace (though you can explicitly create one that looks up the tree and have it not be in the root).
If you add this folder to source control, do not add the file "workspace.xml" as that is the state of the window positions on your machine and should remain local, checking it in will cause lots of confusion.
If this directory is present, android studio will give the containing folder an android studio icon in it's open file browser window in the windows version. You can click on the directory with this icon in intellij (android studio) and open the project.
In Windows, Click at projectname.iml under project directory root. If window is not does not have the .iml file association with Android Studio, you need to add it.
When you select File->Open in Android Studio and navigate through folders, you will notice that folders which consist valid Android projects would have the Android Studio icon, clearly indicating that this is all you have to select.
It is unusual approach in terms of normal behavior of programs under Windows, because since very first versions of Windows it's become accustom to be able to open a program by double-clicking on the file associated with such program, but I guess developers of Android Studio decided not to do that.
It is possible that ".iml" file could be associated with Android Studio but it doesn't happen by default and it's not associated on my computer neither.
I ran into this problem, after upgrading Android Studio to 3.0 on Mac. The previous projects I had created were not displayed, in the splash screen, during startup of 3.0, so what I did was:
1. Pick the option to Open a project
2. Navigate to the location where the project was previously saved (~/AndroidStudioProjects/projectFolder)
3. Select the folder (don't double-click it)
4. Click button: Open
5. Result: this opened the project.
So there is no need to select any particular file. I suspect the filer of this problem was double-clicking the project folder and then wondering what to select next, which is what I did, initially. But it turns out that the Open button is required, in order to open the project. Otherwise, Android Studio anticipates that your intention is to open the folder.
.iml file can be used to open the project directly into Android Studio (I am referring to Android Studio 3). Just goto your project folder and then double click on yourProject.iml file.
I know its late but better late then never :-)
Visual Studio uses one solution file. Android Studio does this different. It uses a directory for this purpose, namely the directory .idea in your project. In this directory several files make up how your IDE is configured for that project. The same as in Visual Studio. Those files can be edited and changed, but you will have to know what is what in those files.
I think the answer is .duh
