Android Studio shows wrong file contents

Question

I have an odd problem with Android Studio. Here is how my class file looks like on Android Studio

And here is what it looks like on a text editor.

Any ideas why it is happening? I have tried closing then reimporting the project, invalidate caches and restart, clean project, build project, delete .idea folder and .iml files. All of my files are broken when opening in AS but looks fine on text editors.

Answer 1

Here's what worked for me.

1. Close Android Studio
2. Go to C:\Users*your username*
3. Locate the Android Studio settings directory named .AndroidStudioX.X (X.X being the version)
4. Rename it to something like old.AndroidStudioX.X
5. Start Android Studio, and when it asks if you want to import settings, choose the old directory

This should fix the issue.

Answer 2

Thanks to the Answer of Asim, I found deleting folder caches fixed the problem for my case (all gradle files in Android Studio show contents that have nothing to do with the actual contents of these files):

C:\Users\my_user_name\.AndroidStudio3.3\system\caches
