Android Studio does not identify xml file as layout file

I accidentally created drawer_list_item.xml in the screenshot using New -> File , instead of New -> Layout resource file , and now I can not open it as a regular layout file in development mode. He opens it as a regular text file.

enter image description here

Is there any way to change its type. I could not find anything related to this through the settings of Android Studio

File contents:

  <?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 other things I've tried:

  • recreation does not work, because it creates it in the same way. But, when I recreated it after removal, it gives the following exception. I close the window and the old text file reappears

  • If I rename the file to drawer_item.xml, it will receive an icon and will display as a layout file. If I rename it back to drawer_list_item.xml, the problem will return. Therefore, he probably indexed it somewhere in the form of a text file ...

  • Invalid caches / reboot does not resolve the issue.
  • Try renaming .idea/workspakce.xml to .idea/workspace.xml.bk so that it recreates it, if I missed something, it would still be out of luck. I even tried deleting the .idea folder and app.iml from the root folder, but didn't fix it

Found the source of the problem - this was in the configuration files that 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> 

So it seems to me that I somehow set the Android Studio index as the file name pattern drawer_list_item.xml as plain text ... Removing this entry from the file solves the problem: <mapping pattern="drawer_list_item.xml" type="PLAIN_TEXT" />

I just needed to right-click on the file in the "Project" view and select "Mark as XML" in Android Studio 2.2.x
