Answer 1

I'm not sure if it is possible to turn autosave off, but you can use Local History when you want to change something back (Right click -> Local History -> Show History).

Answer 2

The beaviour of "auto-saving" your file is not due to the auto-save options mentioned above.

IJ saves all changes to your build sources to automatically build the target.

This can be turned of in:

Preferences -> Build,Execution,Deployment -> Compiler -> Make project automatically.

Note: now have to initiate the project build manually (e.g. by using an appropriate key-shortcut)

(All other "auto-save" options just fine-tune the build in auto-save behaviour.)

Answer 3

Turnoff Auto Save

File > Settings > Appearance & Behavior > System Settings > Synchronization > then uncheck both Save files on frame deactivation and Save files automatically if application is idle > OK

Now, you should do this too.

Mark Changed But Unsaved File

File > Settings > Editor > General > Editor Tabs > then check Mark modified tabs with asterisk > OK

I'm using Android Studio(v135.1740770) in Mac Pro, open below file:

~/Library/Preferences/AndroidStudio/options/ide.general.xml

you will see option for autoSaveFiles, just change its value to false.

<option name="autoSaveFiles" value="false" />

In windows7 same file resides here,

~\.AndroidStudioXXX\config\options\ide.general.xml
