Everytime reopen my android studio project all entries of the left tree get closed.

  • Interesting usage pattern. I don't think it's possible, but I might be proven wrong. Note also, that you haven't "auto-opened" _all_ entries in your example, the `strings.xml` entry for example is still collapsed. Can I ask why you need this particular behaviour? Using "autoscroll to/from source" might alleviate your navigation problems somewhat. Maybe. – ci_ Jun 02 '15 at 11:03
  • Hmm I working on all files parallel and don't want to expand every folder manually.. Yeah I didn't opend `strings.xml` because I forgot it.. It's easier for me to stay on top of all my files ;) You don't have to understand that. – Tomblarom Jun 02 '15 at 11:09
  • Oh, I just realised, my Android Studio doesn't show this behaviour. Closing and re-opening a project does _not_ auto collapse items in the Android tab. I'm using version 1.2.1.1 – ci_ Jun 02 '15 at 11:18
  • I'm using Android Studio 1.3. It's not every time, yes.. – Tomblarom Jun 02 '15 at 11:20

Open the selected file and Use "Scroll from Source" to directly navigate to the required file

Another way to expand entire directory structure is to click/select any folder from where you want to expand the sub directories and click-hold right arrow button, this will do the job.

You can click on the item you want to expand and press number pad's * button. This will expand all the folders in that level of the tree. Any sub folders will need to be expanded though. Answer from here.

Best way is to go to Android Studio Preferences and search for Fully Expand Tree Node. There you can either add abbreviation specific to you or new shortcut. Usually you select package you want to expand and search with double pressing Shift then you hit it or use that shortcut and every sub directory or package will get expanded. There is no delay its instant.
