Android Studio stuck at "Analyzing..."

Question

In my Android project (Android 4.2 Canary 15), completion does not work anymore, and neither does syntax highlighting. This is happening in one Android project only (the others work well).

No completion, no syntax highlighting, ...

I have tried to clean, rebuild the project, create a new project and import files, but no changes... I have tried to delete .idea directory and all .iml files, but not better...

In the "File" menu, I've just tried the option "Invalidate caches / restart" and now all classes in my project are blocked at the state "Analyzing..." and completion still does not work...

Analyzing...

Build and run project work, and my application starts well on my phone, but all intellij features are inactive.

seems i can fix it by deleting c:/Users/me/AppData/Local/Google/AndroidStudio4.2 (win10). Usually it is safe to remove. — deviant, Jun 04 '21 at 09:51
I found a less nuclear approach was to just delete `c:/Users/me/AppData/Local/Google/AndroidStudioPreview2021.1/caches` — Chris Horner, Jun 27 '21 at 00:10
Chris Horner´s suggestion works perfectly for AS 2020.3 Artic Fox — MarkT, Nov 08 '21 at 21:16

It appears that the Kotlin plugin was, indeed, the culprit.

Today (24 May 2021), a new version was released 1.5.10, and as soon as I installed it, everything went back to normal.

Synopsis: After upgrading from version 1.4.32 of Kotlin plugin to 1.5.0, code inspection, completion, linking to sources, javadocs, etc. all stop working (stuck at "Analyzing..." as the images here and here show), and only return for a few seconds/minutes when sth triggers a new analysis (eg. a gradle build, commit, loading new files, etc).

History of the plugin updates for reference can be found here

works for me, but you can't use Jetpack Compose with 1.5.10 . Any other solution? – Hooni May 31 '21 at 01:43
Got to the same problem today, reinstalled kotlin and some other plugins are disabled for me, reenabled and now working good. – Brendon Jun 03 '21 at 14:12

I had the same problem. Just updating the plugin did not fix it, I had to update the kotlin version from 1.4.10 to 1.5.10 – Carson Holzheimer Jun 10 '21 at 02:27
@CarsonHolzheimer nobody should update the plugin w/o the language version :) they should share the same version variable – Ace Jun 10 '21 at 09:50
@Ace No, the plugin should be backwards compatible. A language increase is a big change that isn't intended to be tied to the particular ide/plugin – Carson Holzheimer Jun 10 '21 at 09:54
Works! I had to update Gradle Plugin to 6.1.1 as well and everything was fine! – Andy Sep 02 '21 at 20:49
I just had it on ArcticFox 2020.3.1 Patch2, with Kotlin 1.4.20 (Kotlin plugin updated to latest, like 1.5.20 or smth). Nothing helped, until I changed Kotlin version in project to 1.5.20, synced (problem got solved). Then I was able to change it back to 1.4.20 without loosing working editor. – Den Drobiazko Sep 30 '21 at 16:36

you can just change the Kotlin version to something else and then gradle sync again This will solve the issue

you will find it in build.gradle file(project)

    ext.kotlin_version = "1.5.10"  //I used this

you can also roll back to your previous version. If you want this should not recreate the issue.

I don’t think 'change the Kotlin version to something else' should be one of the solutions. We can't just get up and change kotlin version in projects just for sake of getting rid of the error – MMK Nov 17 '21 at 06:33
I think it's similar to reinstall – Shubham Garg Nov 18 '21 at 08:34

From my project I deleted the files

.idea/gradle.xml
.idea/workspace.xml

and it solved it for me.

Seems to be that I had previously configured the project's gradle incorrectly and even after several reinstalls I wasn't getting any luck.

Kotlin version 1.4.10 magically stopped working in the IDE.

The problems are not related to the IDE version but rather to the integration of the kotlin plugin and the IDE.

kotlinVersion = '1.5.10'

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.2.2'

Then Sync Project and Compile.

Finally you can see that the problem of Analyzing disappears and the IDE becomes intelligent again.

It is possible that after updating kotlin you have minimal errors in other libraries so you also have to update or fix them (I happened with Room)

This is a looming AS IDE issue correlated with the Kotlin plugin, Have tried literally every answer here with tooth and nail, but nothing worked. There were chains of errors. Finally, removing the AS cache folder manually worked for me -

%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Google\AndroidStudio2020.3\caches

Artic fox sucks!

You may also try to update the Kotlin plugin to the latest if possible and see if it makes any difference.

The one solution that worked for me (working in Canary 2021.1.1) was to completely uninstall the Kotlin plugin from Android Studio, restart, let Android Studio install it automatically, and then everything worked again.

The root cause of this issue was that Android Studio "accidentally?" updated Kotlin plugin to an M1 version (I'm on x64), namely 211-1.5.30-M1-release-141-AS7442.40, when updating the plugin. I'm not sure why, but from now a check of what is going to be updated in Canary seems mandatory to avoid these kind of stuff to happen.

that's hardly an answer/solution to your question/problem. You should've put this in a comment below your question, at most. Anyway, still waiting for an actual fix. – Ace May 17 '21 at 15:20
I did this and yet its stuck. So I am guessing it's something to do with the Kotlin Plugin itself. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the plugin, but no luck yet. – Rishav Naskar Jun 20 '21 at 15:52

If you are using

Jetpack Compose 1.0.5 (haven't tested with 1.0.0-1.0.4 but they should work too)
Java 11
Kotlin 1.5.31 (tested 1.5.10 working too)

the other answers don't work

What works is the following in your project build.gradle:

tasks.withType(org.jetbrains.kotlin.gradle.tasks.KotlinCompile).configureEach {
        kotlinOptions {
            jvmTarget = "11"
            useIR = true
            freeCompilerArgs += [
                    "-Xallow-jvm-ir-dependencies",
                    "-P",
                    "plugin:androidx.compose.compiler.plugins.kotlin:suppressKotlinVersionCompatibilityCheck=true"
            ]
        }
    }

(compose compiler was blocking Kotlin compiler from completing jobs)

and Invalidate Caches & Restart

Sometimes some files are stucking to me at analazying, I resolve that issue by:

Just copy / paste that file with the different name
Then remove the original file and rename the copied file with the original name.
