How to add TODOs and track project issues in Android Studio (NOT in sources)

RumburaK picture RumburaK · Mar 8, 2015 · Viewed 42.9k times · Source

I am writing a new better version of my old Android project that will fix a lot of UI bugs but also has a better design, needed for integration of some new features.

As I go through the source I can see all my old and new TODOs in the source, but there are things I remember and forget I want to do in the future and don't fit in any source yet.

Eclipse had a simple list of Tasks in the project on which you could write down and track all bug fixes and new features you wanted for that project. Very handy!

Is there a way add such tasks/issues/notes/todos in Android Studio in the project in general, WITHOUT adding them at a specific place in the sources?

To add a ToDo, just comment anywhere in your code starting with the word ToDo

//Todo: Get count from database instead

To view the list of ToDos, look in the bottom left corner of your Android Studio window:

if you open it, you will get this view with the list of your todos and options to navigate to files where they are located in your project:
