Generated source files should not be edited?

Question

When I create this new class Quake and try to write some code in it ,it displays the following message,

and when I try to run it Android Studio automatically delete the class Quake.

Can someone explain me why is this happening and how to resolve it ?

Answer 1

You're in Packages view and putting all your files in the wrong folder. Switch to Project view (left hand, top side toggle). Under app, you should see a folder called src -> main -> java -> com.example.prateek. That's where all your class files should properly be to avoid autodeletion.
