Android Studio: Background task running indefinitely

Tags:

android-studio

After updating the Android SDK, I started Android Studio. Now its showing background task continuously running with message

Updating indices: Scanning files to index.

In this mode, it is nearly hanged and I can not work on it. Not able to find a way to stop background task. A restart of Android Studio didn't work either.

I've find out that I should use the solution of @free3dom which is the Invalidate Caches / Restart option in the File menu.

I have to do this every time I change some project file by switching branches in GIT.

And yes, Android Studio really sucks and is full of bugs...

Unplug all the phones and plug them again, it gets working. It is related to adb as stated here : https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=172387 and a known bug that is to be fixed in the future
