Android Studio changing ID's in one xml file changes the ID's in another file

Question

I used to give simple ids to Android Views, but lately, I stopped that altogether because of this issue.

Let\'s say I have 2 layouts, one named first_layout.xml

Answer 1

I too faced same issue, when i copied widget from an one activity to another activity and tried to change ID in copied widget. It prompt a dialog box and i clicked "No (Local Only)". But, i feel no use of that option. it still updated ID in old activity too.

Workaround:

Try to change ID or Attributes through Code(Text Editor) not from Design.

I feel google should address this issue and remove this bug.
