Everytime I restart Android Studio it forgets the configured modules despite them shown as configured in the ProjectStructure>Dependencies menu and I manually have to remove them from ProjectStructure>Dependencies and then add them again.
I also tried invalidating the chache, cleaning and rebuilding but the only thing that works is to manually remove the dependencies and to add them again.
What is causing this behavior?
I never faced this problem, but i would check this points:
Do you have other software like git accessing the project folder and maybe overriding some important project files?
Does your user have the rights to write data into the project folder and the configuration files?
Does the Event Log shows something interesting?
Does the log shows something? Help > Show Log in Files > idea.log
i recommend using Ctrl+F to find any occurrence of Error
If you are on linux you can use find -cmin -30 to get a list of all files that were changed in the last 30 minutes. That might be useful to spot the problem.
It might help if you give us your operating system (and version) and android-studio version.

Intellij was updating and it stated the update was finished, prompting me to choose wether to get config from past installation or somewhere else. As I was about to click ok for the previous installation option, my whole system froze(kubuntu).The song I was listening to kept repeating the same second of music through the headphones. Maybe it was an overheat issue on my laptop? Anyway, had to hard reset it.
Now I can't open intellij. The icon is blank, clicking on it shows loading for a while, but then never does anything. Running the idea.sh from terminal produces the aforementioned error.
What's the best course of action here, to save all my configurations and settings before reinstalling? Or is there a way to fix this without reinstall?
Make a clean installation from from the .tar.gz file available at the official downloads page.
Make sure to unpack into the empty directory (not on top of the previous version).
Check if you have the config folder for the new version already created. If it's present, remove it. This will make IntelliJ IDEA prompt you to import the settings from the previous version (make sure not to delete the config folder from the previous version you will be importing from).
I can't find the source list in cornerstone anymore. I have tried the View>show Source list, but still can't find the source list. And I have tried reinstalling the software, still doesn't work.
kill CornerStone process
Delete config file
Users —> Library —> Preferences, there is com.zennaware.Cornerstone.plist file（Cornerstone UI config file）
then delete this file
Restart machine
I moved this Library folder below away to resolve the issue. Make sure you take a backup of your Registration key first from within the app (Cornerstone -> License Information)!
~/Library/Containers/com.zennaware.cornerstone3/Data/Library
Is there a way to change the default file .gitignore that Android Studio creates when creating a new android project? I searched for it in the Settings but could not find anything.
Unfortunately, there is no way to do that automatically, besides the one Ted has mentioned.
However, personally, I don't see this as a big downside, because you can thus safely add your specific templates that fit best to your project.
To be able to do this, do the following:
Go to File -> Settings and from there highlight Plugins. Click on Browse repositories... and you should be able to find the plugin entitled .ignore. Install it.
Now to configure a .gitignore for any project, in case you have no project opened, click on Configure -> Settings. In case you have an open project, go to File -> Other Settings -> Default Settings…. Now expand Version Control and click on Ignore Files Support. You should be able to add a custom user template of your .gitignore-file there.
To use any template you've added there, just right click on your .gitignore and click on Add template…. There you'll be able to add your custom specifications, however, many others are given by default, so you don't need to do a google search for an OS or language specific .gitignore configuration.
Good question. I tried manually modifying the project_ignore template in the Android Studio installation (located at C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\plugins\android\lib\templates\gradle-projects\NewAndroidProject\root in my Windows installation). That works, but it causes any future updates to Android Studio to fail unless you restore the original template first.
I'm posting this as an answer because it works. But it has such a bad down-side that I'm also starting a bounty in the hopes that someone can come up with a better solution.
On Mac, Applications->Android Studio.app(right click -> show package contents) -> contents-> plugins\android\lib\templates\gradle-projects\NewAndroidProject\root\ , i tried modifying, project_ignore file. i dont see error every time while looking for updates. instead of replacing, i appended at the end.
I have two rather large solutions that both experience the same problem. The issue is that I am warned about an inability to delete temporary files. The messages all look like this:
Failed to delete the temporary file
"C:\Users\Don\AppData\Local\Temp\tmp07197280428445c484ba0cda58178903.exec.cmd".
The process cannot access the file
'C:\Users\Don\AppData\Local\Temp\tmp07197280428445c484ba0cda58178903.exec.cmd'
because it is being used by another process.
I have seen suggestions of using pre-build commands to first delete things, but that is a lot of projects, and I'm not going there.
Anyone know how else I might remedy this, that does not involve "fixing" each project individually?
If it makes any difference, I'm compiling C# .NET 3.5 projects.
My idea is, to write a small addin for Visual Studio, which can delete files on build. You could configure it with filepaths and then just run sth like this:
foreach (var item in paths)
File.Delete(item);
And the config you could put solutionwide.
I get that too - the problem is that the compilation system itself is holding onto the file when it attempts to delete it. I think it deletes it afterwards anyway as I've never seen the named files hanging around afterwards so its just an annoyance that can be ignored.
The files seem to be the command that VS is running that is built up from the build settings.
I assume its a .NET thing where the GC hasn't cleaned up the object that has the handle to the file when the system attempts to delete it. If so, directly shows the benefit of RAII over GC :-)
A likely source for the problem is that your antivirus software is busy scanning the file in question, which prevents the rightful owner deleting it. Curb the enthusiasm of the antivirus and your problem will be solved.
Unload the project from your solution, than reload it. It should create the missing files and be buildable again.
If you have installed any third party cleaner tool and activated the active mode (always running in background) this will lock the temp folder in the appdata so Visual Studio is unable to restore the Nuget package on build and there will be a build error.
Try uninstalling the cleaner and restarting the system. When I had this problem, that was how I fixed it.
I have Visual Studio 2012 and when I'm trying to get last version it doesn't work and it says that it's says that "All files are up to date". It is because I deleted file locally after I got it from TFS and I guess in Visual Studios memory it's written that there were no changes from that time I got it and now it doesn't let me download it although I don't have it.
How to "tell" VS that my local folder is changed?
P.S. I guess it can be also done with "Get specific version" but that option doesn't appear to me when i right-click on file I want to get from server.
EDIT:
I found that my workspace changed automatically (or rather with me not being concentrated while making new project), so VS was actually checking other directory all the time. For all those who might have the same problem - check your local path and if you see that it's not good, change it.
Here is how you can change it:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/tfsversioncontrol/thread/d0c6982f-4f5e-4b1c-830b-3af9fb127922/
You are right, TFS saves what version he gaves you and changing/deleting it without to notify TFS, you won't get anything. The "Get Specific Version ..." is what you need. Therefore rightclick on the item you want, in context menu choose "Advanced --> Get Specific Version". Check the second option to "Overwrite all files even if the local version matches the specified version".
Not saying this is a solution, but I had similar issues after remapping one of my projects. Ultimately what I did was delete my local Solution File (.sln) and re-opened the project via the Project File (.vbproj). After that I was able to see all of my latest file versions that appeared to not be down loading. Once you click save on anything it will re-prompt you to save a new solution file.
i don't know if this is specifically what the OP was trying to accomplish, but here's my story: my machine crashed, had to get it reimaged; once VS2015 was installed, i went to source control explorer, right clicked the branch i needed >> Advanced >> Get Specific Version, checked the "Overwrite..." boxes, clicked "Get" and got the "All files up to date..." message. buster. obviously the code was NOT up to date.
fast forward: i fixed this issue by deleting my workspace's pertinent mapping to code base i needed, saved it, and re-added it.
hope this saves some headaches.
You'll want to Get Specific Version and to check the box to enable overwriting of existing files. That will ensure you're actually up to date.
You can also switch from a server worspace to the new local workspace which should also help solve issues like this.
