I cannot find how to refresh my project without rebuilding it in Android Studio. I have seen this popup near the logcat in the past and used it, it was wonderful for layout updates.
Is this refreshing just a layout change not available in Android Studio?
According to: Android Studio: How to 'Refresh' after adding file?
There is no refresh option for do that on AndroidStudio
There is only an option for Make project in Build -> Build Project.
But, i think this option will do the refresh option:
File->Synchronize. Or equivalently, Ctrl+Alt+Y or the little circle with arrows menu button.
Update: In the new Android Studio, This feature is available. Thanks to jason.
Because the answer isn't stated anywhere in this thread even though it's marked as accepted:

Before updating my android studio it was running great. After the update I am facing a problem. Using databinding facility when I declare the id of any view in my layout, android studio is not showing any suggestion of that id in java file until I rebuild the project. But previous version of android studio it showed the id suggestion immediately without make, clean or rebuild project. My android studio's current version is 3.1.2. Any idea how to fix that?
Try Invalidating cache.
Hope this fix the issue.
Try this it works for me:
You can also check if Power Save Mode on File menu is disabled.
Another solution is this:
Project Settings [name]
Inspections - ensure that Android and Android Lint is checked, or alternatively just set it back to default using the dropdown box at the top.
IDE Settings
Editor -> Code Completion - ensure the Autopopup code completion is checked (and check the rest of the settings based on your preference.
I am working with a Flutter example project where it shows how to share a FlutterView inside an Android application (and iOS also).
While working with it I tried this:
I make changes to the android project like changing the theme color, if I do hot-reload/run for main.dart I don't see the changes reflected in the running app. I have to stop it from Android Studio and run the main.dart again to see the changes.
To solve the issue I was thinking to add a run/debug configuration for Android app module. So that I could run android app and not main.dart.
Is there a way how to achieve this in Android Studio?
One solution for me was to open the android(/flutter_view/android/app) project from a new window in Android studio. I could run the app this way.
(But here I encountered another issue in case anyone has the solution).
According to my understanding you face problems when you open your project and try to run.
Android studio asks you to configure your project to be able to run...
It's easy to solve near to run button you will find "add configuration" button just press then from left side select "flutter" and put in the field "entrypoint" your main Dart file path main.dart...
EX. E:/project/lib/main.dart....
Then from top right corner press "create configuration"...
That's it.
For Configure your Flutter app on Android you have to Upgrade Gradle file..
So Go to the Tool and at you will find AGP upgrade Assistant..
It Download new Gradle file then its Config automatic..
I update my Android studio in 3.1.1. and when I tried to make a new project, it open a diffent window, not the usual..
Also, when I open an existing project, on .xml files, there was no "design" option on the bottom..
Is there anyone who can help me to fix it??
Thank you!
The problem is because the Android plugin is disabled in your Android Studio. You need to enable it from Preferences -> Plugins, then search for Android Support and enable it like the following image:
When I open layout file in my new Android-Studio file and press preview tab it'll show a message Waiting for build to finish... for infinite time.
Has anyone faced the same issue or any solution?
Cleaning and rebuilding my project solved the issue.
try different theme (may be from Appcompat) and API level from top
OR
If you have made some changes in the layout just undo it.
delete .idea and .gradle folder from root of the project
close android studio , restart it
click on gradle icon from right sidebar and click sync icon to refresh project.
now rebuild the project and it should work.
After a lot searching and I tried all solution which people give here, but any of them didn't solve my problem, I guess this problem is from studio's developers, and they may fix it in next patch.
so I simply re-installed my android studio and it's solved.
Try Clean and rebuild project.and Also try Invalidate caches/Restart.And this issue is also facing because of Low Ram in laptops.
After upgrading to Android Studio version 3.1, in the Project Structure dialog the build tools version was empty. Selecting a build tools version solved the problem for me.
Hope it helps for someone facing the same issue.
See my response on similar question posted:
Android studio error java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Resource name cannot be empty
This error can occur when you update to Android Studio 3.0. It doesn't affect your ability to build a project, but the error does not allow you to visually see your xml layout files. You will also get the error when committing files to GIT, but you can still commit and push.
What I found in one of my projects is that a file was added to the "menu" folder automatically upon Android Studio upgrade, and the file had no name. It was named simply ".xml". All you need to do is delete the file and clean your project, allowing a new build of the project. That should take care of the issue.
For me I had this problem with one file, so I simply created a new one with the same code.
Simply make a build from within AS - not the command line. I get this all the time because I'm mostly using the command line. It's been like this since early versions of AS so I recon it's not high on there list of issues.
Lately (3.2) there is a lot of new internal crashes and what not - not stable at all 🤐
I have been studying Android on Eclipse Mars for some time and i have been facing a constant problem everyday-the changes made in a folder/file are not recognized by some other folder/file. For example, if i create a new layout in the layout folder and then use it in the setContentView, it shows me an error ("layout-name cannot be resolved or is not a field). It works if i save the project,close it, and open it again, but this takes up a lot of time if i have more than one error, so the question-is there a way to save and refresh the project (without having to close it) so that the newly made files and folders are recognized by the java files?
Thank you.
You can refresh your project in Eclipse by right clicking on the project root folder in your Project Explorer and selecting "Refresh".
You may also want to consider checking if you have "auto build project" turned on. In your top toolbar go to Project -> Build Automatically.
If build automatically is turned off you will have to manually build your project, by Right Clicking on the project in your Project Explorer and selecting "Build Project".
However, I do agree with Pankaj Nimgade that Android Studio is likely a better entry point IDE for Android development.
Real advice: Switch to Android Studio as soon as you can. There you would sometimes have another problem called "sync" though. But it's a much better IDE and you are at least in line with Google.
on Eclipse, F5 should do the trick. Or right click your project and Refresh. Or Clean all projects. If you are still stuck, simply close Eclipse and run it again.
