Android Studio Can't Open Existing Projects

Question

I cant open any of my existing projects on android studio for some reason, I can create a new project but any time i try and open an exiting one it opens the file finder i click on the project and nothing happens.

Ive tried invalidating and clearing cache, uninstalling all plugin, deleting, re-downloading and re-installing but nothing seems to be working

Im running macOS Catalina 10.15 and Android Studio 3.4.2

Answer 1

See my answer at, IntelliJ IDEA can't open projects or add SDK on macOS Catalina, I think it also works for Android studio.

Mac OS, Mojave or Catalina, Exit Android studio first,

• Apple menu  > System Preferences, click Security & Privacy, then click Privacy.
• Click the lock, then enter your administrator password.
• From the list of items on the left, select Full Disk Access.
• Add Android studio(or other whatever app having this problem) to the apps allowed full-disk access by using the add button.

Lock and try again.

I hope this will help.

Ref from apple support of other things, but I tried, it works!

Adding

-Dide.mac.file.chooser.native=false

to .vmoptions helps.
