以错误编码 UTF-8 加载的文件，在 windows-1252 android studio 中重新加载

Question

I'm working on project having multiple Git branches.After switching to different branch, few java & Kotlin source files are fine and few are showing encoded source files, even when I build and run project it work fine. I'm getting below error message while trying to load these files.

file was loaded in wrong encoding UTF-8

package directive does not match file location.

and sometimes it also gets stuck. It was working fine with other branches.

I tried few hacks like, clean/rebuild / delete build folder, etc but still of no use.

I'm unable to see my java, Kotlin & xml code but when I open these files in notepad it work fine.

Answer 1

so what I did was I added the below piece of code in my Gradle file compile options , cleaned the project, and invalidate and restarted android studio.

compileOptions {
    
    compileOptions.encoding = 'windows-1251' //'UTF-8'
}
