I am in the process of doing clean up on a project that has gone through much of the dev cycle and is almost ready to go to production. I wanted to remove any unneeded PackageReferences in the the csproj but can not seem to find any way to detect them, except to perhaps to remove each one individually and try building... is there an easy way to see which of the PackageReferenceare actually needed for your project?
You can use Visual Studio Extension: ResolveUR - Resolve Unused References or use Resharper if you have installed it.

I have two android projects. One is the login and membership screen and the other is my main project. I did both separately, in case it would be okay to combine them later, but I realized that I made a big mistake. When I tried to combine the two, it started giving errors all the time and I couldn't do it. Gradle files were probably missing, but I'm very confused. Can anyone help me how to do it easily?
Error:(1, 0) Plugin with id 'kotlin-android-extensions' not found
There is currently no easy option to "combine" two projects like to merge them without exceptions. But you can do the following:
The easiest way to combine two projects is to take the smaller project and copy all the files in /java /layout /drawable to the other project.
Then I would look up all files in /values and copy the values if you changed them.
After that you should look at the Mainfest and see wether you made changes there and transfer them. This will make most of the errors not come up because you just copied all the classes.
If you get the error anyway then go to your gradle files (build.gradle for project and module and settings.gradle if you use android studio bumblebee or newer) and check if there is any plugin or line you have in one project and not in the other and then add that accordingly.
I want to do clean up my project which having 1000+ Java classes, but many of them are not in used. Is there easiest way to track unused classes and xmls.
You can analyze your whole project to find XML, code and all things that are unused or not required with Lint
With this you can find unused classes, resources, security leaks,
refactor suggestions and more, it's really useful.
First right click on your project main package, select Analyze - Inspect Code.
After that select whole project
Then you can see all your problems to fix
An example of an XML error, you can see the errors from the drop down and in the right where they are located, and also you can fix all this problems from the same inspector, above you can see suppress, that is a way to fix this, and you move on to all project problems with this
Also, you can remove unwanted resources like this, right click in your project structure
you can select preview and see all the resources which you can delete
Refactor - Remove unused Resources...
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 have got thousands of files/folders inside a solution. For some reason I have to exclude them all and then include again in the project, to get the latest list of files.
The normal "Exclude From Project" in visual studio menu takes too much time. Is there a quick way to do it?
Thanks!
Put them all into one master folder and include that folder.
If some are files, you may also want to compile them and include the DLLs or the equivalent in whatever language you're using.
This is really frustrating, I am using Visual Studio 2012 for C++ for a project, and it worked fine for a while. Then out of the blue, it started having problems.
The build function does not update the project anymore. I need to do a REBUILD every time I modify anything in my project.
I have looked all over for a solution, but none helped. First of all, I didn't change any settings, but I looked anyway. Tools/Options/Build&Run, Project/Config Manager, you name it I have checked it. It doesn't look like it's a settings problem.
Another thing though, on other forums, I have read that this MIGHT be because of a bad include, that the file included is not there anymore, or something like that. But that is not possible either since I didn't delete any file from the project. But, this problem seems more plausible since, the project at a much earlier stage, had less includes, and it still works.
So, can you help me solve this problem? It is really annoying since most of the solutions out there are NOT working!
Whenever I have run into an issue like this it is usually something like missing project dependencies. You may want to take a look at "Build Solution" not working in Visual C++ anymore. If you are able to share your solution someone may be able to take a look at it.
