I have trouble importing my custom file templates into Android Studio 4.1 Canary 5. In prior versions of Android Studio (up to 4.0) I used to copy my templates into
<Android Studio Installation>/Contents/plugins/android/lib/templates (I am using Mac)
But in 4.1, there are no templates there and when I copy mine there, they seem to be ignored.
Has anyone faced the same issue?
Thank you!

Android Studio provides code templates that follow the Android design and development best practices to get you on the right track to creating beautiful, functional apps. You can use templates to create new app modules, individual activities, or other specific Android project components.
In the Preferences menu -> Editor -> Spelling : You can add a custom dictionary. Your language.
Android Studio groups templates by the type of component that they add, such as an Activity or an XML file, as shown in figure 1. To add an Android project component using a template, use the Project window.
To add an Android project component using a template, use the Project window. Right-click on the folder in which you want to add the new component, and select New. Based on what components can be added to the folder you clicked on, you then see a list of template types like those shown in figure 1.
The local.properties file is located at project root level. It is mainly used to define sdk directory (location). Root of the project. If it is not there then you can manually make it and specify the local properties in it yourself! It is mainly used to find the android sdk installed on your machine.
It is mainly used to find the android sdk installed on your machine. The local.properties file goes to the projects root level. It's the same folder where we have settings.gradle file. You can edit this file to define the sdk.dir (location of your installed sdk) if not already defined by Android studio automatically.
Android Studio 4.1 uses a new templating API which is visible but not public yet - you can see a sample here, although I haven't been able to get this to work. Unfortunately in the process, Google seem to have removed the old way of adding templates.
For those interested in tracking progress, you can star the issue on Google's issue tracker system here.
