I need to find and extract all hard coded strings in my project in Android Studio (beta) 0.84.I need a static analysis tool like Find Bugs do this for me in one shot and allow me to step through each message and extract the string to resource files. Even better would be if the entire process is automated.
Text String Excel
In Android Studio (beta) 0.84 the File / Setting /FindBugs-IDEA shows I18N as an option under Reporting tab.But I just cannot figure out how to make it work.
Thanks for any suggestions.

As @Maor Hadad and other upvotes suggested me : I convert my comment in an answer, so :
Since Android Studio 1.2.2, there is a new option in 'Analyse > Run inspection By Name' => 'Hardcoded strings'. I used it and it seems quite more reliable with current version than 'hardcoded text' (that checks only xml files).
Seen here link
PADPAD
Go to 'Analyze > Run Inspection By Name..', and type 'Hardcoded text'. Run that one against your whole project, and you should get an inspection results panel that will show the hardcoded text instances.
You can also go to Android Studio > Preferences > Inspections > Hardcoded text and specify exactly how it runs, and what (if any) special cases are excluded from inspection.

For Windows platform, The best way I found is this:
You can use this shortcut
Ctrl
Alt
Shift
I
and search for, Hardcoded Text
in the search bar.
You can select appropriate module in which you want to search Hardcoded strings and it will give you the list of all Strings together.

If you just want to find all the hard coded strings in all the layout files only, you can do so very quickly by running -

I'm trying to find a command on Android Studio to convert a selected text to uppercase but I'm unable to do so.
Is there any shortcut for this? I think it is a very common action on IDE but haven't found any clue yet.

The IntelliJ shortcut is evidently Ctrl+Shift+U (Command+Shift+U on Mac) and should work since Android Studio is based off of it. Here's their documentation page.

You need to keep Caps Lock on while using this shortcut.
I could not get the shortcut Ctrl+Shift+U to work in Android Studio on Ubuntu 14.04 until I turned on Caps Lock.
