How to solve an unknown internal error in possible gradle in android studio, that is producing bad new projects and infecting previous work?










0















For no discern-able reason, since today when I create a new project in Android Studio, every single time I get this



image showing how all new projects (basic Hello World) are being created by android studio. Please check this



enter image description here



Notable points are-
- colors.xml is always blank
- D:scodeappsMyApplication3appsrcmainresvalues*colors.xml:1:1: Error: Content is not allowed in prolog.*



googling for this last line, an SO post mentioned "delete gradle caches".



Not implementing that, on opening an existing projects, this happens



the styles.xml is half-deleted,



enter image description here



and I don't know how to describe what happens to colors.xml, do take a look



enter image description here



Tried clean build and rebuilding.
Tried invalidating cache and restart.
Tried reboot



Then as mentioned above, deleted contents form .gradle/caches/



Yet this issue is persistent.



Any suggestions are welcome



UPDATE 1



I uninstalled android studio, with settings. Then reinstalled.
This changed my SHA1 key,
but most importantly I'm not able to use views and their attributes properly



when I add and edittext, it happens like this



  1. (the element tag comes without the width and height attributes, like
    it normally does)

  2. and this image shows that even when I try to manually add
    attributes, they are SIMPLY NOT AVAILABLE

  • try to re-install android studio, looks like your android plugin has been removed.

  • are you sure you are using correct versions make sure your jdk, android studio and os are similar i.e 32 bit or 64 bit. all 3 must be same.

Wrap content your xml files into <resources></resources> tag. For example colors.xml:



<resources>
<color name="red">#db001b</color>
....
</resources>


See this article.

  • I forgot to mention earlier, I tried manually adding normal colors in <resources> tags. Yet the effect is same. Further, did you see what is happening if I open old projects? That is more worrying
