Find and replace Android studio

Question

Is there a way to find and replace all occurrences of a word in an entire project( not just a single class using refactor -> rename) and also maintain case, either in androi

Answer 1

In Android studio, Edit -- > Find --> Replace in path, this will check in whole project including comments and code.

Answer 2

Press Ctrl+R to find and replace codes in the class where you are...

Answer 3

If you use refactor->rename for the name of the file, everywhere the file is used in your project the refactor will replace it.

I have already rename variables, xml file, java file, multiple drawable and after the operation I could build directly without error.

Do a back-up of your project and try to see if it work for you.

Answer 4

I think the previous answers missed the most important (non-trivial) aspect of the OP's question, i.e., how to perform the search/replace in a "time saving" manner, meaning once, not three times, and "maintain case" originally present.

On the pane, check "[X] Preserve Case" before clicking the Replace All button

This performs a case-aware "smart" replacement in one pass:

apple -> orange
Apple -> Orange
APPLE -> ORANGE

Also, for peace of mind, don't forget to check the code into the VCS before performing sweeping project-wide replacements.
