Search all the occurrences of a string in the entire project in Android Studio
Android StudioSearchIntellij IdeaAndroid Studio Problem Overview
I've just started using Android Studio (IntelliJ), and I now look for the feature to find the occurrence of a string in any of the files in my project. For example: I want to find all the files that contain the string ".getUuid()
"
The search at the top right doesn't give me the correct results, and I don't think I can find this feature under Edit > Find.
Could anybody point me at the right direction?
Android Studio Solutions
Solution 1 - Android Studio
TLDR: ⌃⇧F on MacOS will open "Find in path" dialog.
First of all, this IDEA has a nice "Find Usages
" command. It can be found in the context menu, when the cursor is on some field, method, etc.
It's context-aware, and as far as I know, is the best way to find class, method or field usage.
Alternatively, you can use the
> Edit > Find > Find in path…
dialog, which allows you to search the whole workspace.
Also in IDEA 13 there is an awesome "Search Everywhere
" option, by default called by double Shift. It allows you to search in project, files, classes, settings, and so on.
Also you can search from Project Structure dialog with "Find in Path…
". Just call it by right mouse button on concrete directory and the search will be scoped, only inside that directory and it's sub-directory.
Enjoy!

In Android Studio on a Windows, macOS or Linux based machine use shortcut Ctrl + Shift + F to search any string in whole project. It's easy to remember considering Ctrl + F is used to search in the current file. So just press the Shift as well.
Solution 3 - Android Studio
Press Shift twice and a Search Everywhere dialog will appear.
Solution 4 - Android Studio
Use Ctrl + Shift + F combination for Windows and Linux to search everywhere, it shows preview also.
Use Ctrl + F combination for Windows and Linux to search in current file.
Use Shift + Shift (Double Tap Shift) combination for Windows and Linux to search Project File of Project.

You can open the Find in Path dialog by pressing:
Ctrl + Shift + F
Solution 6 - Android Studio
Android Studio 3.3 seems to have changed the shortcut to search for all references (find in path) on macOS.
In order to do that you should use Ctrl + Shift + F now (instead of Command + Shift + F as wrote on the previous answers):
UPDATE
To replace in path just use Ctrl + Shift + R.
Solution 7 - Android Studio
Android Studio Version 4.0.1 on Mac combination is for me:
Shift + Control + F
Solution 8 - Android Studio
And for all of us who use Eclipse keymaps the shortcut is Ctrl+H. Expect limited options compared to eclipse or you will be disappointed.
Solution 9 - Android Studio
In Android Studio on a Windows or Linux based machine use shortcut Ctrl + Shift + R to search and replace any string in the whole project.
Solution 10 - Android Studio
What you want to reach is that, I believe:
- cmd + O for classes.
- cmd + shift + O for files.
- cmd + alt + O for symbols. "wonderful shortcut!"
Besides shift + cmd + f for find in path && double shift to search anywhere. Play with those and you will know what satisfy your need.
Solution 11 - Android Studio

Solution 12 - Android Studio
Press SHIFT 2 times and you can search Every-where , both Class and Method() in the project.
Ctrl + N for finding only Class name.

To get rid of the screen press esc
I use IntelliJ IDEA

In Android 3.6 on a Mac if you want to export the results to a text file then do the following
Command+Shift+F then enter the text you want to search
Then on Bottom Right click on "Open In Find Window"
Then Right Click On Found Occurrences
Then Export To Text File
Once in text file you can find and replace to remove, sort lines etc... please see screenshots for assistance.
