In Android Studio, project.gradle file is not show when in Android View, but is when in Project view
Android View
Project View
How can I fix this ??
From the Gradle Tool Window in Android Studio (View > Tool Window > Gradle),
Right click on the the project's Gradle config with (root) next to its name.
Click on Ignore Gradle project,
and right click again then click on Unignore Gradle project.
The trigger to this 'buggy' phenomenon actually lies outside your project folder.
Assuming a project name of 'SilverBirch', try this:
(a) Close the project in Android Studio 3.0.1.
(b) Rename your project folder (inside the workspace folder) to 'SilverBitch'
(c) Re-open it via Android Studio (you obviously can't do so using 'recent projects')
(d) You should get a window titled Import Gradle Projects with text that reads: The modules below are not imported from Gradle anymore. Check those to be removed from the ide project too:
(e) Tick the (old) project name and click OK.
(f) At last your 'Android' view shows build.gradle(Project:SilverBitch)
(g) Repeat whole process, renaming back to original.
Alternatively, if you're insane, do this:
Locate the project.dat file AND folder for your project - it will have a path that looks something like this (assuming Windows)
C:\Users\<userid>\.AndroidStudio3.0\system\gradle\Projects\5be1ee38\project.dat
[The system-generated hex-string container name will vary, but the file is always project.dat]
The first line of this file references the 'missing' build.gradle and will clearly identify the owning project.
Delete the file AND its containing folder then re-open the project via Android Studio.
Because googling 'project.dat' yielded nothing, and because I made a rude assumption that this contained only system-generated data, and because I couldn't resist 'seeing what happens' I actually deleted
the entire Projects file [C:\Users\<userid>\.AndroidStudio3.0\system\gradle\Projects]
So far, so good - no serious side-effects yet! Maybe those plugins needed re-specifying anyway? etc.
Close Android Studio -> Remove project .idea folder -> Open Android Studio -> Open your project. This worked for me!
NOTE: when you remove .idea folder you will also lose project related preferences (such as XML code style for project)
Right Click on "Gradle Scripts"
Click Load/Unload modules
Load unloaded project module
Done
In my case, I found that my project.iml located in project/.idea
So I move it to project/
and change one line like following:
<module fileurl="file://$PROJECT_DIR$/My_Project.iml" filepath="$PROJECT_DIR$/My_Project.iml" />
the old one should look like this:
<module fileurl="file://$PROJECT_DIR$/.idea/My_Project.iml" filepath="$PROJECT_DIR$/.idea/My_Project.iml" />
After that, go back to android studio, every thing seems perfect!
This worked for me:
In your root project folder, open the *.iml file, and make sure that the value in module external.linked.project.id=, the *.iml filename, and the project directory name are all the same.
Now my build.gradle (Project: X) shows.
This worked for me.
Simply go to your AndroidStudioProjects Directory.
Search for your Project
Rename it with some other name
Strat your Android Studio, and then Import Project (Gradle, Eclipse ADT, etc.)
mode. let the Gradle Build Finish.
And that's it.

It's explained how to exclude a directory in Android Studio here. It also has a warning about not knowing how to include it back again. Now I need to do so.
Of-course I can create/import the project again. But I guess there's a better way of doing that. Is there? How?
As there is no "Mark directory as" menu in Android Studio, I found out that such settings like including and excluding directories are stored in a ".iml" file. Named like "project-name.iml".
A line like bellow is used to exclude a dir:
<excludeFolder url="file://$MODULE_DIR$/src/main/blah/blah/blah/" />
So, Re-including is done as easily as removing the line.
if you right click an excluded directory in the Project View, you can select from the context menu:
Mark directory as → Cancel exclusion
You must delete .iml file then try to sync and it will work fine
I am trying to merge a few projects into one and therefore have to import either the projects or the modules. When i try "import project..." however, Android Studio will just open another instance of itself, not making any changes to the project. When i try import module, it will gray out the "Finish" button as soon as a module is checked for importing. If none is checked, it will let me continue... and do nothing as expected.
I am using Ubuntu and Android Studio Arctic Fox (newest version, freshly updated)
I already reinstalled and tried to fiddle around with project settings without any results.
I have not found a solution, but i found a workaround. It is possible to merge projects manually by copying the desired module folder "as is" into the new project folder and then copy the file ".idea/modules/modulename.iml" from the old project to the new one. Then one has to add "include ':modulename'" to the settings.gradle and add the path to the .iml file to .idea/modules.xml according to the format the other modules are saved in. Manually invoking gradle synch will update the project structure or show errors, if some were made.

I am unable to see the folders that are physically existing, this is the case.
But in actual fact I have other folders as welll
So what can I do?
Above your the file directory view in Android Studio is a drop down which currently is most likely set to Android. Change it to Project and you should be able to see all your files.
I tried the all the approaches mentioned above but can't fix rather than fix it by a hardcore approach -
Step 1. Close your Android studio.
Step 2. Delete .gradle and .idea folder from your project directory.
Step 3. Open your project and you will see the files again.
go to View menu then click tool window then after click on project
view->toolwindow->project
it worked for me
for me doing the following works:
from menu go to: View--->tool windows ---> Project
then click the little gears icon (settings) you will see an option to change the empty middle packages. it looks like this:
disable "Hide Empty Middle Packages" under the Project View settings dropdown and then it should make everything show up.
If anyone ever does what I did maybe this will help:
Android Studio does not like it when module names begin with a number. I was learning from some tutorials and named the first module "1-name" and the next one "2-name". Setup was fine and it ran, but only the "Gradle" Scripts entry would show in the navigation window in "Android" mode.
I want to add localized strings for my android app. Therefore I need a values-xx folder in my Res folder.
The original values folder has a blue dot, so I tried creating a new Package, but a package can't contain a hyphen so this must be wrong. Instead I tried right-clicking res and choosing New -> Android resource directory, but this time nothing happens. No dialog or reaction of any sort as I can see.
How do I create a values-xx folder?
Edit: I can create the folder from file explorer and it all works good. It is just irritating to not be able to do it from inside Android Studio.
Edit2: This bug is fixed in newer versions of Android Studio.
When you are in the Android view (rather than Project or Packages) in Android studio, you just need to right click the "values" directory and choose New > "Values resource file".
That gives you a chose of different resources you can add. For example, if you want to add a different language to your app you can choose the Language option and press the ">>" button. If you want Swahili then select that from the list, type "strings" for the file name, and press OK.
Android Studio will automatically create a values-sw directory with the new strings.xml file in it. And in your Android file view you conveniently see both strings files together.
And it is a similar process for adding other types of resources (see my other example). You no longer have to manually add the directories (but you can do that too by right clicking the res directory and choosing New > Android resource directory).
I had the same problem, what I did was create a values-xx folder inside the main directory (main>>right click>>new>>directory) and then moved that folder to res/ directory.
It's not beautiful but it is a workaround to create a folder with Android studio.
This bug is fixed in newer versions of Android Studio.
The values-xx folder we created is not showing, but when we create a file its asking
=>I have created values-21 folder and then tried with creating an xml and it asks for choosing a directory
=>I have updated to Android 1.02
Check the values-21
Lets assume i Want to create a folder named "Daylight" under res.
Step 1:
Right click on res.
Step 2:
Then go to New.
Step 3:
Then go to Folder.
Step 4:
Then go to Res Folder Option and select.
A window will be open.
Step 5:
At that window check the unchecked box "Change Folder Location"
and as assumed we have to create folder "Daylight"
Step 6:
SO name the newly created folder as daylight, in this format. src/main/res/Daylight
Step 7:
Then, Finally Click finish.
If you have already created a new directory but just don't see it in the Project Tools window. Do this
Click on Project Tools window >> Android(Drop Down) >> Click Project.
Now you'll see all your Directories in res. See the picture:
Its very simple. I too had trouble initially.
Lets break it stepwise:-
1) Open your project
2) Right click the res folder
3) Choose New
4) Chose Directory
5) Name the directory.
Thats it!! It works for a fresh project everytime!
For those finding this answer when trying to add a new res folder to a library.
Right-click java/kotlin folder > New > Folder > Res Folder
