N.B: It's not a permanent solution. But a quick hack.

For those, whose nothing is working. right-click on the file. click show in explorer. then drag-drop the file to android studio.

Ok It was very stupid, and I had not coded in Android Studio for a while, but:

The reason while I could not open the .xml file (loading non stop) was that I was using the image view (two little triangles that look like mountains) instead of the code view (4 dashes), switch in the top right corner above "Loading...". I hope this would be helpful.

Refresh your Gradle project.

Go to plugins -> Android support and disable this. Restart Android studio and enable the plugin again. Worked for me.

I was getting the same issue because I enabled Proguard in my debug build. After disabling that, I am able to open layout files in my project. Do the below in your app gradle file.

debug 
{
    minifyEnabled false
}

Hope it would help someone.

It could be a keymap conflict. I set the double click for a plugin, and that was the cause.

I had the same issue. Be sure that your XML is valid (with another text editor), then clean project and rebuild it. Wait for the new project indexing process finish, and it should work.

If not, try by restart AS with invalidate cache.
