There is one thing I really miss about Eclipse and it was that if I commented out a public field, for instance, the project immediately turned red and all the classes that use this field, also turn red, so I know what I broke.
In Android Studio, I comment out a public field and nothing changes, and if I want to find which are the affected classes I either have to try to remember where I used it, or run a rebuild, wait for a minute, until the error appears.
Can I make Android Studio do this kind of check in real time like Eclipse did?
Android Studio is faster than Eclipse. There is no need to add a plugin to Android Studio but if we use Eclipse then we do need to. Eclipse needs many resources to start but Android Studio does not. Android Studio is based on IntelliJ's Idea Java IDE and Eclipse uses the ADT Plugin to develop Android applications.
Using F2. In addition to what the other answers say, you can find errors by pressing F2 or Shift + F2 .
The difference between Android Studio and Eclipse is that Android Studio is an Integrated Development Environment(IDE) specifically developed for Android applications while Eclipse is an integrated development environment that is widely used for Java-based application development.
layout error is being caused by a mismatch between Android Studio's cache and your project's current layout. If you suspect this may be the case, then select File > Invalidate Caches / Restart > Invalidate and Restart from Android Studio's toolbar. Issues with the names of your resources can also prevent the R.
It works in Android Studio as well. But only for the current visible class.
Make sure Power Save Mode is not enabled. You can uncheck it at 'File > Power Save Mode'
