IntelliJ IDEA doesn't open Android *.xml layout files

Question

since today I'm not able to open my Android layout xml-Files in IntelliJ IDEA anymore. Other resources like styles and preferences work.

I don't mean the preview view, I only want to view the xml code of the layout files.

Thank's in advance for your help

Answer 1

This was happening to me as well. I couldn't open any layout XML file, but style files and AndroidManifest.xml opened correctly. I fixed this by disabling the Android Designer plugin in Settings/Plugins/Android Designer. Layout files are opening correctly now!

I'm hoping JetBrains will fix the root problem in a future update, but for now this workaround will suffice.

(I'm running IntelliJ IDEA 12.1.6 Build #IC-129.1359 on OS X 10.9 Mavericks)

Answer 2

Solution is that first go into the Settings/Plugins/Android Support and disable it and restart intelliJ and after restart again go into the same Settings/Plugins/Android Support and enable it. Your layout xml file will be open easily.

Answer 3

我确实删除了C：\\ Users {name} \\中的.android，.IntelliJIdea2017.2和.AndroidStudio3.0文件夹，现在可以打开.xml布局了。

首先通过Settings / Plugins / Android Support禁用Android Support，重新启动intelliJ，然后重新启动后进入Settings / Plugins / Android Support并启用它。如果不起作用，请通过Res打开新的布局；这是新的Android资源文件它为我工作。
