sometimes while editing the app everything just goes away

and it only shows 'android...cordinatorlayout' i also don't know where to find the projekt file.

Hi David

The Project Folder is located on your far left of your screen you should see 3 tabs. Project, Structure, Captures. Just to the right of the project tab you should see project with a little down arrow click on the arrow it will show you Projects, Packages,Scratches,Android,Project Files,Problems,Production,Test......Click on Project Files this will show you all folders and files under Project Files. Don't forget to put it back to project once you are done as the structure will confuse you in later lessons.

From what I can see I think you still have your project but the build has not worked. Try going to Build at the top of your screen on the menubar and selecting Rebuild. If that fails to work you can try importing your project from the start screen just select import and select the file where your app is located and select gradle build not eclipse.
