I want to know how to make my project files appear in the "Project" side menu pictured here (Here is the Android folder which I mentioned also actually had content).
I can find the files in the file explorer. I'll note that all that I've done is create this project (and a couple others to see if it just didn't set-up right), so I haven't made any changes in Android Studio or the code in the project.
I can reach the files clicking the top row, but this takes time and since this is one of my first android projects I can't find my way around that well - So having all files visible is pretty much a must.
All of the tutorials and explanations of how to use Android Studio already have the files visible there. I would like some help so I can actually start coding :) Thanks
Usually, the reason why files disappears is either you had a gradle sync problem when importing the project OR there is a problem with your settings.gradle who's in charge to tell AS which module to load for the project. (usually simply include ':app'
on new projects).
Try File / Sync Project with Gradle Files
You can also try to simply Close the project and reopening it (File / Close Project)
If this does not work, you should try and post your app/build.gradle
file to help further.
