Whenever I'm creating a new project on the file my android studio opens another android studio, ending up 2 android studio running at the same time. I've already configure the system setting under the appearance and behavior to current window but nothing happens
I am not able to move SDK file after the android studio is installed. Can you guide me step by step.
To actually MOVE an existing Android Studio SDK folder location in Windows:
Close Android studio.
In windows File Explorer, MOVE the actual SDK folder.
For example, my SDK folder was located here
C:\Users\bfindling\AppData\Local\Android\sdk so I cut/pasted it to
E:\Android\sdk
Now you can re-launch Android Studio and it will notice that the SDK
has moved.
It will ask you for the new location.
Point it to the new location (for example E:\Android\sdk) and you are done.
Open android studio
Go to File in menu bar
Select settings
Click on Appearance & Behavior on Settings window
Go to System Settings
Then Android SDK
And there you will find Android SDK Location
Change the path to where your sdk files are located
Android SDK location
OPEN android studio first
open SDK manager in android studio
change the LOCATION OF sdk where you save sdk.
Is there a way to show the outputs folder in Android Studio?
The following is the folder structure in Windows Explorer:
The following is the corresponding part in Android Studio:
I am particularly interested in the mapping folder under outputs because I use it frequently. I want to open files in that folder within Android Studio.
I'm using Android Studio 1.2.1.1
I'm looking for the File Explorer from the Android Device Monitor...
I see nothing:
So, in the end, the problem was that the file explorer was being opened in a separated tab BEHIND the IDE.
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
