Main activity code disappeared after a force laptop shut down

Question

I was writing an app and I was in main activity (had written thousands of lines of codes). But when I wanted to shut down my laptop, it took a while so I had to push the power button to force a shut down. Then after a while, when I powered on my laptop again and opened Android Studio, all my main activity code was gone! It's so weird.

I can see in project folder that main activity has about 40kb size but it's all empty. So is there something wrong with Android Studio and can I fix it? If not, can I use some tools or tricks to get another version of my main activity file (like changing the last date modified to the one before it or something like that).

Can you open the Activity file in a plain text editor, like Notepad? — Code-Apprentice, Mar 11 '17 at 20:02
