This is the happening for the second time that the XML file in android is showing strange symbols in place of my original XML code . I left my laptop for 5 minutes and came across these horrible symbols on return. This code leads to build failed. How do i get my real code(textual code) for these files .
here's what my android studio shows :

@NileshRathod the question you referred doesn't solve my problem . it's not duplicate, there were 2 files infected , 1 like the one mentioned in your posted link and 1 like the picture i pasted in my question . The question basically is different , the content in my case is not changed like the question you referred and those solutions don't fix my problem ! kindly remove the duplicate tag, to let me have a working solution for my problem – Hissaan Ali Jul 10 '19 at 08:42

@NileshRathod my android studio doesn't show tags like the post you referred , i had that problem earlier which i have fixed, but this problem is different . It would be nice to kindly observe both pictures and see how different these pictures are . i tried all the solutions as mentioned but none of them worked for me. my screen shows strange symbols like � while the post you mentioned is completely different . Had my problem been solved, i would be happy not wasting my time. Kindly recheck ! – Hissaan Ali Jul 10 '19 at 08:55
