Edit files from GeneratedJava Folder in Android Studio 3.2.1












0















One of the new features that came with Android Studio 3.2.1 is the folder generatedJava being highlighted.



I have found out that the classes you can find here are all the classes the project will be built from, including the libraries.



Does that mean I get more access to change those libraries now?

And is it possible to do edit any class/library from there, or what's the point of making those files visible in the new update?

          You can actually edit them, but when they will be regenerated, all your edits will be lost.



          If you open one such file, Android Studio will show the message:




          Files under the "build" folder are generated and should not be
          edited.




          enter image description here



          And if you try to edit it anyway, the message changes to:




          Generated source files should not be edited. The changes will be lost when sources are regenerated.
