In Android Studio (IntelliJ) how do you execute a 'File Search' for a string within a Scope of files? Can Search Everywhere do this, I only see how to use it to search 'code', not 'files'
Example: Search for the string "Dummy Button" in the 'Workspace Scope'.
Expected Response: res/values/string.xml:line4
You can do it in two ways,
Goto Menu -> Edit -> Find -> Find in Path
Or use the shortcut,
ctrl+shift+f
In Android Studio,
On a Windows or Linux based machine use shortcut Ctrl + Shift + F to search any string in whole project. It's easy to remember considering Ctrl + F is used to search in the current file. So just press the Shift as well.
On OSX use the Command key instead of Ctrl.
Use Ctrl + F combination for Windows and Linux to search in current file.
Use Shift + Shift (Double Tap Shift) combination for Windows and Linux to search Project File of Project.
Command+Shift+F on Mac to find in path
In Android Studio 4.1 update, the combination for Mac users changed, now you should use Control + Shift + f.
Try this. Enter your string name in dialogue box after pressing ctrl+shift+f
Menu Bar->Edit->Find->Find in Path...
Press Two times Shift button and write in search box it will search in whole Android studio.
In my case, I accidentally checked the box of "File mask". So all xml files are not searchable in Find in Path. Maybe this can help you.

In Android Studio, my cursor is white rectangle. I'm cannot write anything. And changed my keyboard button actions.

How can I fix problem or can I reset Android Studio settings?
Just got the same problem as yours. And this is the solution:
Go to File > Settings > Editor > General > Appearance, then uncheck the Use block caret
Try fn + ins. That worked for me.
Go to settings and plugins and just disable the IdeaVim plugin it works in 2020.itx also occurs due to this extension.
In windows, win+insert worked for me.
Presse Fn+0. It will work instantly.
go to plugins and disable IdeaVim then restart android studio it will be ok ...
Press Fn + Del on your keyboard together.
Explanation: Its because Delete key on keyboard has Insert function. So pressing Del along with Fn key will enable Insert mode within your editor from Overwrite mode as in your case.
It's ins in the latest version of Android Studio.
In windows if you press INSERT key cursor mode will get change,use WINDOWS + INSERT to get back into normal mode
For mac users just right click and deselect "Column selection mode" or press Shift + Command + 8
Just restart Android Studio and voilà !
None of the other solutions worked for me (Windows 7, maybe with an inactive Lock Num key).
What I have:
I have a customised code format (.xml) file that my team wants to use in our project. This file includes predefined coding styles and conventions for java file.
What I want to do:
Now I have to add this formatter as a default code format, so that when click the shortcut of auto code format, the entire file will be formatted according to the the conventions defined in the formatter.
After a long 2days effort I managed the steps to integrate Eclipse Code Formatter in Android Studio
Here I am sharing step by step procedures to integrate Eclipse Code Formatter in Android Studio:
Step 1: Go to the Plugins Section of Android Studio.
The easiest way is Click Shift twice and type Plugins. Now go to the plugins menu.
Step 2: Click on Browse Repositories
Step 3: Type Eclipse Code Formatter in the search box. Select it and Click Install button in the right section
Step 4: After successful installation you can see a blue Eclipse Icon in the top pen
Step 5: Now go to Settings >> Other Settings >> Eclipse Code formatter
Click the Browse button.
Step 6: Then select the Code Format XML file
Thats it
Any time you click the code formatting command your full code will be formatted according to the code formatter.
Code formatting shortcut:
Windows:
Ctrl + Alt + L
Linux:
Ctrl + Start + Alt + L
Mac:
Option + Command + L
In case anyone want to see how the code formatter xml looks, you can check this one.
One of the mostly used code style used by google is here.
i am facing problem in android studio. In eclipse when i want to use class like Intent, then i write intent starting with lower case it give me suggestion box indicating class name Intent, but in android studio if i type intent starting with lower case it does not Provide Suggestion class name Intent.Thanks in advance.
In my case Ctrl + Space was overloaded by mac shortcuts. And even in the case, I disabled them, they conflict with Android Studio.
So, I gave them another keys and it solved the problem.
Go to the System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts -> Input Sources and use new keys for them.
The problem is that Android Studio has different key binding than Eclipse, but you can set the key binding to be the same as in eclipse in android studio settings. Also by default ctrl + space is case sensitive in Android studio, you need to turn that off too.
Move to File -> Settings -> Keymap and change keymaps settings to eclipse so that you can use the short cut keys like in eclipse.
You can set 'Case sensitive completion' to 'None' in IDE Settings > Editor > Code Completion.
That should do it :)
File --> Settings --> Editor --> General --> Code Completion --> Case sensitive completion --> None
I have multi android project in eclipse, when I read source code, I want to know all the reference for one class, but the Ctrl + Shift + G just the search result in the same project. even I click the right menu -- Reference--worksapce.
I just do this in android emulator for copying and pasting the data in edittext.
Ctrl + C = Copy
Ctrl + V = Paste
But it didn't works. So, i need to know if these shortcuts are working or not in emulator. Or, any other special shortcuts available for android emulator. Anyone knows this means, help me to find out the problem? Hope this will very useful for me. I'm working on Windows 7 Professional OS.
You can see the shortcuts by clicking on the "more" button:
And going to the "Help" tab:
For more information: Android Emulator.
You can check current config from console
emulator -help-keys
When running the emulator, use the following keypresses:
Ctrl-H Home button
Ctrl-M Menu (Soft-Left) button
Ctrl-Backspace Back button
Ctrl-Escape Power button
Ctrl-Equal Volume up button
Ctrl-Minus Volume down button
note that NumLock must be deactivated for keypad keys to work
Copy the text you want:
Ctrl + C = Copy
Then when the emulator is in focus, paste using:
Ctrl + V = Paste
Then in the edit text that you want, long click on the field until you see the emulator paste button pop up above your cursor. Click that and it should work.
In the Android Studio Emulator the ctrl+v doensn't works, just hold the left mouse button for a second and paste menu will appear (in textbox etc.).
For Mac OS, the most important shortcuts are:
Cmd + Backspace: Back button
Cmd + O: Overview (The square button)
Cmd + Shift + H: Home (The center button)
You can see the rest from the Triple Dot menu, go to Help section.
