I saw strings.xml vanish from my values/ directory before my eyes when I saved

  • 0

I saw strings.xml vanish from my values/ directory before my eyes when I saved another file.

I tried manually making a new strings.xml (New -> File) but it got disappeared, too.

What’s making it disappear? Is there a log that shows all the magical things that Eclipse is doing under the hood?

EDIT Answer: values/ had moved from res/values/ to values/. How? I haven’t the slightest. But when I made a new directory of values under res/, I could make a new Android XML file under there, and then populate it.

    There can be a few things – the first thing to try is switch to Resource view.

    Regardless of what view, you can click the down arrow at the top right of the folder tab/window thing and you can configure filers. Make sure it doesn’t have that file filtered for some reason.
