I am working on Android Studio 3 Preview at the moment. However, whenever I tried to open an old project it says:
The project file specified already exists.
I have deleted:
Old code/project from hard disk (completely)
Removed the project from the project list.
Any tips on this?
This needs two steps:
You must delete the .idea folder under your project. It is a hidden directory. use ls -a to find it out.
Right click build.gradle and choose application. It probably popup a window asking for a program to open it, choose Android Studio.
I faced the same problem with 3.1 and .idea folder was also not there. Still it was not working. So instead of doing "Import Project" I did "Open an existing Android Studio project" and it worked.
I encounter same problem recently when opening existing Android Project,
deleting .idea or open directly build.gradle through Mac OS Finder work for me
Open the gradle file (select Android Studio if an application picker pops up) and it should bring up the "Import Project" dialog.
Just go to your Project Location Delete All files like .idea, .app etc and Relocate Your Project Location.
Anybody knows how to get around this issue while launching Android Studio?

It looks like you have a corrupted installation file - completely uninstall Android Studio and download it again from the website.
Install the newly downloaded version of Android Studio on your system - the one you had previously downloaded is likely corrupt.
Here are the instructions to uninstall Android Studio completely. Note that some files may be located in a different location depending on where you chose to install and the versions you've been using so if something is not in its normal place, please let me know.
Please follow all of the steps below in order.
Run the uninstaller
The first step is to run the uninstaller. Open Control Panel by accessing it from the menu when you right-click the Start Button (This applies for Windows 8 systems). Then, under Programs, select Uninstall a Program. After that, click on Android Studio and press Uninstall. If you have multiple versions, uninstall them as well.
After you have uninstalled Android Studio, it is recommended that you restart before proceeding with the steps below.
Remove the Android Studio files
To delete any remains of Android Studio setting files, in Windows Explorer (The file browser in Windows), type this as the File Path:
C:\Users[YOUR WINDOWS USERNAME]
Replacing [YOUR WINDOWS USERNAME] with the username of your account on Windows. If you don't know your username, navigate to C:\Users and it will list all users on the system.
Here, delete .android, .AndroidStudio and any versions of this directory with versions on the end, .gradle and .m2.
Then, go to
C:\Users\Harry[YOUR WINDOWS USERNAME]\Roaming
and delete the JetBrains directory.
Finally, go to
C:\Program Files
and delete the Android directory.
Remove the SDK
To delete any remains of the SDK, in Windows Explorer, type this in as the File Path:
C:\Users[YOUR WINDOWS USERNAME]\AppData\Local
Here, delete the Android directory.
(Optional) Delete all previous projects
If you want to delete any of your previous projects, the directory where your projects are found is the AndroidStudioProjects directory. It is located in your root user file, C:\Users[YOUR WINDOWS USERNAME].
Hopefully this will now have deleted the Android Studio files and you can now try reinstalling the tools.
If you have any problems doing so, give me a shout :)
1st step please disconnect your internet connection and restart the studio.
If it is not working??? Do the following steps.
Open the folder bin under the directory where you installed your Android Studio.
Find the file idea.properties and open it with Notepad++/UltraEdit/other_edit_tools.
Add disable.android.first.run=true as the final line and save the file.
Restart Android Studio.
Remove lib folder .local/share/Google/AndroidStudio4.1/marketplace
or execute command
rm -rf ~/.local/share/Google/AndroidStudio4.1/marketplace/lib
To recover from this state, you need to remove the "python" folder that you find here:
~./AndroidStudio1.2/config/plugins
(Found at https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=164202, worked for me)
I have this problem in android studio in linux OS after install a plugin,i resolved this issue with deleted.AndroidStudio3.2 folder from Home Directory and other way you can go to this directory and delete the plugin that caused it .
Directory : /home/your system's name/.AndroidStudio3.2/config/plugins .
and for windows OS you must go to this Directory :
C:\Users\your system's name.AndroidStudioPreview3.2\config\plugins
Note : this directory is hidden and you must visible befor use it .
I did faced this issue too, where it says to do this in my windows 10:
please report to https://code.google.com/p/android/issues in a windows error message.
It happened when i added some plugins in Android studio in Windows.
It persisted in my machine until i opened my Android Studio as an administrator and then uninstalled the most recent Plugins from File > Settings > Plugins > Installed Plugins.
What went wrong may be I added many plugins and applied all of them at once. May be i should have added one plugin at a time. Like install a plugin > apply that plugin and restart my Android Studio IDE in order to see it's effects.
MacOS
My issue was with a plugin. I tried all sorts of ways of deleting Android folders using terminal. Nothing was working for me until I searched all instances of AndroidStudio in Finder and deleted each of them. After reinstalling everything worked great!
I solved it by removing an incompatile plugin located here: ~\AppData\Roaming\Google\AndroidStudio4.1\plugins.
I deleted the folder "marketplace"
Open the folder bin under the directory where you installed your Android Studio.
Find the file idea.properties and open it with Notepad++/UltraEdit/other_edit_tools.
Add disable.android.first.run=true as the final line and save the file.
Restart Android Studio.
It information helped for me
<<~ ~ ~ Quick Solution for Windows 10, Hope it will help ~ ~ ~>>
Download the latest Android Studio from the official website
Uninstall the existing Android Studio from your computer. NB: Remove Settings Preferences too while uninstalling.
Restart your computer
Install the newly downloaded Android Studio
Delete the old directories which will show when run the Android Studio the first time after installation of the new Android Studio.
NB: Do not remove your SDK files after uninstalling the Android Studio, if you want to save your time in installing the Android Studio.
I have solved this problem, depending on the system you use delete the following files:
Linux:
~/.local/share/Google/AndroidStudioPreview4.1
Windows:
C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\Google\AndroidStudioPreview4.1
MacOS:
~/Library/Application Support/Google/AndroidStudioPreview4.1
Thanks #Jonilson Coelho dos Anjos
For Ubuntu users
go to home
press ctrl+h to show hidden folder .local
now go to .local folder
you will find share folder, go inside share folder
find Google folder and delete it
Open Android Studio
Enjoy !!
delete paid plugin in android studio plugin folder (C:\Users\your_computer_name\AppData\Roaming\Google\AndroidStudio4.1\plugins) and will work correctly. it works for me.
paid plugin should have to activate otherwise it will conflict.
1) Go to
'C:\Users\your-user-name\AppData\Roaming\Google\'
2) Delete folder
'AndroidStudio4.1'
3) Then restart Android studio.
I hope this works for you.
I came with a new solution. Instead of uninstalling Android Studio and removing all related folders and losing your programming state on Android studio, and beside all these wasting your time, you should try this solution first which worked for me:
In my case the problem was the Windows. As it has crashed recently, I figured out the problem could be it, so I decided to restore the windows to the most recent point before Android Studio crashed. But the system restore tool didn't allow me to restore my system at all, and it said I should repair missing or corrupted system files first.
I first used Microsoft System File Checker tool thread to fix the case, and guess what? after restarting the windows 10, all problems gone. No need for uninstalling the Android Studio or removing any plugins or even restoring the windows to an stable state.
Hope this work for you too.

3rd Start again android studio
When I start Android Studio, it shows popup regarding new update of 1.1 release. But when I start updating, After downloading all patch files, while restarting, it shows following error:
I searched almost everywhere on Google and Stackoverflow. There are already two questions on so: this and this. But none of them are have any correct answer. I also tried running as administrator, restarting PC, turning off the firewall, uninstalling antivirus. But none of them worked.
I am using windows 7 32-bit. How to solve this problem? Can anyone help?
I know this is an older question but I encountered the same error while updating SDK components in Android Studio 2.3.3. I was able to fix the problem by starting the SDK manager and un-checking the components that showed the error and clicked "Apply". That un-installed just that component. When it was finished, I re-checked the component and clicked "Apply" again. When it was finished, the problematic component was updated to the newest version. This was much quicker than doing a full un-install/re-install as stated in one of the solutions above.
Hope this helps someone.
This is another option, it is not much easier than reinstalling but at least you don't have to worry about your settings getting lost
Go to help->about and note the version you currently have installed
Download zip file for your current version at https://developer.android.com/studio/archive
Manually overwrite conflicted files with files from zip
Update normally
I had a similar problem on some other files and could not figure it out.
You should download the last Android Studio version and remove the old one.
It appears like the only way to bypass this error and successfully update Android Studio is to uninstall and reinstall it.
Before uninstalling, make a backup of your IDE settings through File | Export Settings.
Download the "No SDK tools included" exe from the Other Downloads section. Avoid using download accelerators as they often mess up the downloads from https://dl.google.com .
In the Install Wizard, you may uncheck to update AVD if you use Genymotion and don't need Google's Android emulator.
Use the JetBrains Toolbox for Android Studio update, problem solved. No need to mess with the file permissions. Especially on company devices.
I had this issue on Ubuntu 18.04 when tried to update Android Studio from 3.4 to 3.5 version. I have changed Android Studio directory's ownership to my user:
sudo chown -R <username> /opt/android-studio
It resolved all but one errors for me, because I still had a jre/bin/java - Access Denied error, which I have resolved by killing its process:
# The second column of this command's output is PID.
ps -aux | grep /opt/android-studio/jre/bin/java
kill <PID>
It might also happen that you need to logout and and re login as admin user in your system.
Update the Android studio [in admin user].
Re login as a previous user.
You should check the JDK Location settings, which appears be changed on every Android Studio update, with commands ctrl + Alt + Shift + S (to reveal the Project Structure menu options, and uncheck the Use embedded JDK and find your current JDK Location, on windows machines, you can see that location on environment variables JAVA_HOME.
There is a workaround, try deleting or moving the files that are causing the conflicts to another folder when the Update starts NOT BEFORE! That worked for me.
I know this is a very old question, but I face this issue almost every time I try to update my studio. Only solution I know which works for sure is clean install of studio....which is time consuming. So the solution is when you get to know the name of the file, search the location of that folder containing specified file. Check if that folder has lock icon on it, if it has then change the sharing settings to everyone and share the folder. If it does not have the lock icon on the folder check if it is in read-only mode. This worked for me hopefully someone finds this useful.
Cheers.
I had a similar problem. What I did was to make sure of the whole folder's ownership. For some reason, some files where owned by root, so I changed it to my ownership. In linux you can use the followoing command on the Android Studio folder:
sudo chown yourusername:yourusername -R android-studio-folder
I just tried again and everything updated successfully. Hope it helps!
The only solution worked for me is I have reinstalled Android Studio the latest version without uninstalling manually it and when starting the installer it asked me to uninstall and said that your settings will not be lost so I checked the uninstall and everything went smooth without any problems and got the latest version installed and all my settings the same.
I had this symptom when updating from Android Studio 3.4.2 to 3.5.
In my case, the affected file was plugins/Kotlin/kotlinc/bin/kotlinc.
The cause turned out to be that while the file's contents had not been modified at all... the Unix permissions bits on it had been.
Specifically, this was a file that comes as non-executable, and I had at some point chmod'd it to executable (because it should be) in order to use it from the command line.
The fix was to set those permissions bits back, with chmod:
$ chmod a-x /PATH/TO/android-studio/plugins/Kotlin/kotlinc/bin/*
This probably isn't a super common cause for this symptom, but hopefully it will be helpful to someone else. :-) I certainly didn't remember making that change, though once I spotted it I know exactly why I made it.
You can found the files in the android-sdk folder, and delete those files, and check your permission of the folder(android-sdk, build-tools, tools), if your can write, and download again.
I solve the issue.
I had the same error when upgrading from 3.1.x to 3.5.x. What worked for me was downloading the new Android Studio image from https://developer.android.com/studio and installing it (when asking me if I want to replace the old version I said yes). Everything seems to work fine now.
I also had the same error when upgrading from 3.5 to 3.6, I managed to solve this without losing any sdk platforms and virtual machines in avd by installing the latest version of android,First Export the settings and then delete the two folders ".AndroidStudio3.x" in home directory and the "android-studio" in /usr/local or /opt directory, then download the zip file of latest version of android studio and move the "android-studio" folder to /usr/local or /opt. Now run the /android-studio/bin/studio.sh and import the settings,Now Latest version will be installed.
I got this error when I was trying to upgrade Android Studio using a different user account to the account that installed Android Studio (the account had admin privileges). When I switched to the account which installed Android Studio I was able to upgrade without this problem happening.
I have had a similar issue and solved it. Some documents were encrypted by the software installed on my PC, so updating to Android Studio 3.6 was not possible (in fact every update I have the same issue).
To solve it, just find those files in the Android Studio installation folder (probably Program Files/Android) and decrypt it. After that, you should be good to go. I hope it helps!
I had this problem for a while and was able to solve it myself.
If in opening your project in Android Studio and something similar to this error message pops up:
Cannot load settings from file (C:\Users\User\AndroidStudioProjects\ProjectName\.idea\workspace.xml): Error on line 1: Content is not allowed in prolog. Please correct the file content.
It probably means your project workspace settings file is corrupted by whatever reason and Android Studio could not read it. Mine is probably because of BSOD, because Windows.
To solve the error, just delete the workspace.xml as specified in the error message. It is ok to delete it since you probably already lost all your custom workspace settings when the file got corrupted and you will never be able to save new workspace settings unless you fix the corrupted file. After deleting it, the next time you open your project in Android Studio, it will try to look for the workspace file, and if it can't find it, it will just create a new valid one.
I hope this helps! :)
Step 1 :Exit Android Studio.
Step 2 :Delete workspace.xml file found in the \ProjectName\.idea\ directory.
Step 3 :Run Android Studio again.
On a Mac, I found File > Invalidate Caches/Restart did the trick.
on a windows 8.1, I found File > Invalidate Caches/Restart did the trick
I have encountered similar problem many times, and there just one thing that can be done to solve this.
Just delete idea folder.
I would like to suggest restart Android studio File > invalidate caches and restart... > invalidate caches and restart option before deleting workspace.xml
if restarting android studio fail to solve your problem, kindly run check disk from disk properties because I notice that this error is raise due to file indexing / file system error or sometime permission denied by OS.
Just Delete idea folder ..
Thank you.
in Terminal navigate to your project directory, and run these
rm -rf .idea
rm *.iml
then go into your app directory and do that same thing as above.
Finally, "File" -> "New" -> "Import", this should solve the corruption.
Just delete .idea folder from project directory an re run android studio.
it worked for me.
I am using Android Studio 4.0 I solved this by:
Deleting .idea folder in the Project
Restart Android Studio
Done :)
I have encountered similar problem many times, and there just one thing that can be done to solve this.
step 1 : delete the .xml files containing error, or cut and paste to some backup folder if you want to inspect that file later on. However, it's unlikely that you'd find anything.
step 2 : try to open android studio after having deleted those files, it must be running perfect. if it doesn't and still contains errors try 'invalidate catches and restart' option in file menu.
I just deleted the workspace.xml after closing the studio and started again.
It works fine.
Since for me didn't worked to delete the file i just override the actual workspace.xml with the one i had on backup directory of my project. Now it works.
Had Today the same Problem, but i found a "workspace.xml" with something like "jpt_tmp" at his end, in the same directory. After swaping the "tmp" once with the original, i got everything back to work.
I tried many options but finally for windows 10, File > Invalidate Caches/Restart worked for me.
I guess the problems depends on each situation. I was using Flutter in Android Studio and suddenly one day this problem occurred.
Just delete the project_name.iml in Flutter project and project_name_android.iml in android module.
For android projects simply delete .iml file in the project.
After deleting restart Android Studio and follow the steps as in this video. It was of great help.
Sorry for delay response, I also came across this scenario, so tried to resolve it using many way available on internet which include
invalidate cache and restart
restart android studio
deleting *.iml file
restart system
The only solution worked for me is, I export my project into zip format and then I open it from there. The project open and build successfully without any problem.
I hope this will help for you.
In my case it was iml file which was corrupted, so i deleted it, restarted android studio,
pasted the same file as it was before, restarted android studio and everything was working fine.
A gradle sync did the trick for me.
Just press the button from the toolbar named "sync project with gradle files". The icon is an elephant with a little blue arrow.
If it still does not work, try deleting the .idea folder first, before syncing the gradle files again.
I have installed an Android studio from here. It worked, i wrote a hello world project and then closed it. But the IDE does not start second time. It gives me an error "caches are locked".
I installed unlocker and it says that no process blocks this folder. Does anybody know where is the problem? Thanks in advance.
I also faced this problem. I have solve my problem as follows:
Go to folder where android-studio is installed. (C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-studio)
Now go back to previous folder. (C:\Program Files (x86)\Android)
Right click on the android-studio folder and go to properties.
Now in Properties window, go to Security Tab.
Click the Edit Button
Now, a new window will open, here you click the Users(your-username-or-your-group-name)
Now, from the List below, Check "Allow" in front of "Full control"
Now press "OK", then again "OK"..
Its done.. Now you can use Android Studio easily instead of Running it As Administrator every time..
For details please visit this page
If you're like me, you could be trying to start a version prior to 0.2.0 (in my case 0.1.6)
Following Google's notes here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/studio.html
You'll need to remove and re-install Android Studio 0.2.0 & up
"Note: There is not a patch update available from 0.1.9 to 0.2. To update from Android Studio 0.1.x to 0.2.x, you must install a new Android Studio bundle from this page. The reason for that is that we have made changes to the bundled SDK such that it includes a pre-configured local Maven repository which can serve up the v4 support library and which is required for creating new projects."
Also be aware that if you have your Android SDK files stored here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-studio\sdk
You should move them before the uninstall or you'll need to download the SDK files again.
After the un-install and re-install now working on my Windows 7 64-bit system
