java - .alias file type for Android Studio? -

does know .alias far file type option goes android studio? 1 i'm working coming null because android studio associated text file.

resource files placed in wrong folder, , can lead subtle bugs hard understand. check looks problems in area, such attempting place layout "alias" file in layout/ folder rather values/ folder belongs.

as per reference this android documentation.

there earlier reference alias file well, in same documentation. @ rate, suggest refer documentation , other official android documentation can find simple tidbits such 1 requested here..

when generate resource alias, resource pointing must of same type alias

effectively, stating alias pointer 1 false location separate true location..

when using google search information, can more specific using keywords "or" , "and" quoting. find above information, searched google for:

"android studio" , "alias file"

which brought me third result. earlier results being references stackoverflow - question, specifically.

there seems additional information available here , here well.
