Hello, let me start by saying im completly new to AS, and im sure this is just some oversight on my behalf. However after i swapped to another Activity and wanted to edit some properties of the new activitys components, the property window just kept showing me an old component from the old activitiy window i just stopped using? Ive googled around a bit with no luck. I realise i can just add my changes in the text designer but id very much like to know what im doing wrong here if nothing else than atleast to learn :)

Thank you in advance and have a nice weekend!
 
Hi. Welcome to Android Forums.

Can you provide a screenshot to clarify what you're looking at?

This may not be what you're referring to, but I usually select the 'Autoscroll to/from source' options as shown below. This will display the relevant file contents automatically when you select it in the navigation pane.

I tried to enable Autoscroll, didnt help unfortunatly. However i did find out after some playing around, that my property window simply dont update at all anymore. Is it not supposed to refresh when i select a new component? Here is a screenshot where the selected component and the ID + Text that the property window shows does not match(got a text component marked yet it says its a button).

That's odd. My layout editor screen looks like this, and when I click on items in the component tree, it shows the correct properties in the properties window.

You see the icon on the top right of the properties window - two arrows going left and right. Click it. I think this syncs the component tree window and the properties window.

I belive those swap between extended property view, so no syncing it seems atleast not for me :/
