In Android Studio (IntelliJ) how do you execute a 'File Search' for a string within a Scope of files? Can Search Everywhere do this, I only see how to use it to search 'code', not 'files'
Example: Search for the string "Dummy Button" in the 'Workspace Scope'.
Expected Response: res/values/string.xml:line4
In Android Studio, you can search for all files using the following shortcuts: control + shift + F on Windows and Linux. command + shift + F on Mac.
To search for a string/text in your Android Studio Project just double tap on the Shift key and a search window will appear that will allow you to search for the string occurrence in all the files anywhere in your project i.e. lets you search in projects, class files, as well as settings.
File myDirectory = new File("path to some directory"); File[] directories = myDirectory. listFiles(new FileFilter() { @Override public boolean accept(File pathname) { return pathname. isDirectory(); } });
You can do it in two ways,
Goto Menu -> Edit -> Find -> Find in Path
Or use the shortcut,
ctrl+shift+f
In Android Studio,
On a Windows or Linux based machine use shortcut Ctrl + Shift + F to search any string in whole project. It's easy to remember considering Ctrl + F is used to search in the current file. So just press the Shift as well.
On OSX use the Command key instead of Ctrl.
Use Ctrl + F combination for Windows and Linux to search in current file.
Use Shift + Shift (Double Tap Shift) combination for Windows and Linux to search Project File of Project.
Command+Shift+F on Mac to find in path
Try this. Enter your string name in dialogue box after pressing ctrl+shift+f
