Sometimes, i have to open the folder twice to get all the files to load up. Like open it, open a diff one, then open it again..

Yea I tried that didn't work. The only workaround I have is to rename the apk and re decompile it. little extra work

Hi don't know if this is where I should be posting this. I can't get AS to reload my files the after it's saved. Been googling for a week with no luck :(

I can open and edit a project the first time. But when I try opening it a second time it shows no files. I tried to rebuild and delete invalidate with no luck. Also optimize doesn't work either. I am using current release dolphin tried eel but no luck either.

Thanks
Delete the idea folder in your app root folder

Great video really helped.
Any chance you could do one showing how to move the layout around like move the live series and movies to different locations.
Thanks

Here's a Basic Walk through of how to use android studio as a live editor.
This is not a detailed how to on Android Studio..... use google for that.
But in the video i do show
how I change the Ad layout size in Smarters 3.0.9.1.
I also tried to show the most common things edited, text size/color, icon color, app name.

Decomplie with APK EasyTool
Open decompiled folder with Android studio.

Resource Manager will almost guaranteed not open, just open a different project(decompiled folder) in the SAME WINDOW, then switch back to the first project,in the SAME WINDOW,
It should index correctly and you should see Resource Manager on the left side.

When you finished editing, just close Studio and Recompile with APK EasyTooL

I suggest grabbing a drink/smoke/coffee/tea before attempting…..this program can be infuriating. Good luck 👍🏻


THIS WILL NOT WORK FOR Smarters 3.1.5

Hello I can not in any way to bring up the resource manager, any ideas?

if you have followed the instructions and opened another app then back to the one you are working with. Ensure that you select, configure sdk after the project has finished indexing and AS detects the framework. If that doesnt work try file>project structure>project and select the right sdk from the drop down. Then apply. Then, Select file>Project structure>Facets>android> reset paths to default. Then apply. Then file>repair IDE and follow the prompts on the bottom left popups

I downloaded AS flamingo 2022 and even opening another project as per the guide I was unable to bring up the resource manager. It doesn't detect the framework and SDK it says NoSDK.
I'm using smarters 3.1.5.1
