git - .gitignore for Android Studio on Ubuntu 14.04 not ignoring certain files. [tried the usual solutions] -

git shows me these files projects.

changes not staged commit:   (use "git add/rm <file>..." update committed)   (use "git checkout -- <file>..." discard changes in working directory)     modified:   .idea/.name     modified:   .idea/compiler.xml     deleted:    .idea/encodings.xml     modified:   .idea/gradle.xml     modified:   .idea/misc.xml     modified:   .idea/modules.xml     deleted:    .idea/scopes/scope_settings.xml     modified:   .idea/vcs.xml     deleted:    pronto.iml     modified:   app/app.iml untracked files:   (use "git add <file>..." include in committed)     ***-****.iml no changes added commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a") 

i have tried approaches .gitignore using git rm remove cache. etc.

my .gitignore matches link point.

help. thanks.

.gitignore ignores untracked files. since files tracked git, can call git rm --cached on files remove them git index keep them in working tree.
