I faced a real strange scenario when after I restarted my PC due to freezing of windows some of my java codes in the Android Studio were converted to some strange xml codes and all those codes I written were lost! I faced this situation twice, the first time I faced this scenario, I reverted my code to last commit since the changes were very little after the last commit. However this time the changes are huge after the last commit and I am completely perplexed!
The below is how one of my small code was converted.
<component name="libraryTable">

My Android Studio version: 3.3.1
Is there any way to get back the code I wrote?
Any help would be appreciated.
I faced again the same situation. Here is one of my another code replaced with xml

I logged an issue with Google here.
Thanks.
I faced this in android studio 3.5.2 as well. It seems the issue is not fixed yet.
dont worry!
Go to android studio folder located in Users/user/.androidstudiov.x.x
And delete your cache and restart android studio. This problem happened to me a couple of days ago, right after I upgraded to the new version. Even XML and java classes will have this. However all your data is safe.
