Android Studio not recognizing String

Question

I've encountered a weird glitch in Android Studio:

As you can see it thinks that it is an error:

'class' or 'interface' expected

But it runs and build just fine, so is this just a visual glitch or can it have any effect during compiling?

I'm running Android Studio 0.5.8 for Mac

Things I've tried so far:

• Restart Android Studio
• Restart MacBook
• Invalidate caches and restart
• tried other strings (like "en-US" this result in the same effect)

If I use a string through the resources the glitch isn't visible (which it will be eventually, I'm just curious why this is happening)

IntelliJ and Android Studio have the ability to take string parameters and treat the strings as being in another language. For example, if you have a method that takes a string that's HTML, if you tell the IDE about it, it can give you syntax highlighting and content assist with the HTML in that string.

I think you've inadvertently set this string as being treated as Java, and it's giving you the Java syntax errors on it. You need to un-set that setting. Select the text, bring up the Search Action feature (on Mac it's ⌘ shift a). In the search box that comes up, search for Un-inject Language/Reference, as shown in the screenshot below:
