I accidentally created drawer_list_item.xml
in the screenshot using New -> File
menu, instead of New -> Layout resource file
and now I can't open it as a regular layout file in design mode. It opens it as a plain text file.
Is there any way I can change its type. I couldn't find anything related to this through Android Studio's settings
File content:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />
</LinearLayout>
Edit for more things I tried:
recreating does not work, as it creates it the same way. But, when I recreate it after deletion it gives the following exception. I close the window and the old text file re-appears
null

if I rename the file to drawer_item.xml, it gains the icon and is seen as a layout file. If I rename it back to drawer_list_item.xml, the problem returns. So it probably indexed it somewhere as a plain text file...
.idea/workspakce.xml
to .idea/workspace.xml.bk
so it recreates it in case I missed something - still no luck. I even tried removing .idea
folder and app.iml
file from the root folder, but no fixUpvotes: 12

I had a similar issue because of importandroid.R
in one of the activity file. Just removed it and it is all good now.

It happens sometimes when wrong indexes/caches are created by Android Studio.
It should be okay after doing those ...

I simply had to right click on the file in the Project view and select 'Mark as XML' in Android Studio 2.2.x

Found the source of the problem - it was in the config files Android Studio creates in your home directory: ~/.AndroidStudioPreview2.0
. In my case, it was ~/.AndroidStudioPreview2.0/config/options/filetypes.xml
<application>
<component name="FileTypeManager" version="16">
<ignoreFiles list="*.hprof;*.pyc;*.pyo;*.rbc;*~;.DS_Store;.git;.hg;.svn;CVS;RCS;SCCS;__pycache__;_svn;rcs;" />
<extensionMap>
<mapping pattern="drawer_list_item.xml" type="PLAIN_TEXT" />
</extensionMap>
</component>
</application>
Therefore, it seems like I somehow made Android Studio index that file name pattern drawer_list_item.xml
as plain text...
Removing that mapping entry from the file solves the problem: <mapping pattern="drawer_list_item.xml" type="PLAIN_TEXT" />
