I have been using Android studio for quite a while now, but one day the application just suddenly go wrong. When I try to click on my directories to find the files to import or open, the application gets incredibly slow and not responsive at all. When I finally successfully switch to the intended directory where my file is stored, the directory doesn't show anything that can be opened (as shown in the screenshot, where I try to open a file from my download folder but it doesn't show anything).

This error message kept showing up as well (open file operation failed: The open file operation failed to connect to the open and save panel service.)

I have tried to uninstall and re-download Android studio for several times but the problem still remains.

This is stable WORKAROUND:

  1. Launch Android studio (stable)
  2. Help - Edit Custom VM Options
  3. Put this options -Dide.mac.file.chooser.native=false
  4. Restart Android studio

I'm having the same issue. Not sure what is going on, but I'm opening from the command line in the meantime to get to the correct directory:

open -a /Applications/Android\ Studio.app /path/to/my_android_project
