Question

my android studio gone crazy like this please help??

file was loaded in the wrong encoding: \'UTF-8\' in android studio

Answer 1

All you need is to remove the Android Studio settings directory, which can be found:

on Windows

C:/Users/yourusername/.AndroidStudioX.Y

on Linux:

/home/yourusername/.AndroidStudioX.Y

Close Android Studio, delete the directory, then reopen Android-Studio and open your project.

Also if it happens on a different IDE, it is the same approach.

If the issue persists, try to copy the content of your project directory into a new directory, then open the project from the new directory.
