Does Android Studio have a note section? - android-studio

I don't know enough about Android Studios and was wondering if there was a note section for Android Studio. My goal is whenever I come back to my project I can read my notes on the last thing I did and what I need to work on next.
This is my first time creating an Android App and using Android Studio Application.
I do know there is a task and context tool that I could use but is there an offline version? Where I don't have to link it to YouTask, GitHub, or Jira, and etc? Just my own personal notes?

I am not aware of a notes feature specifically bit Android Studio does support custom Todos: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/using-todo.html
If you use these you can comment
// todo fix this bug
and it will show up in your todo list at the bottom of the IDE.

is it possibile to use unity project as an android studio activity?

I am trying to create an android application, of which its components are build partly on android studio and partly on unity. i can't do everything with android studio or everything with unity, so i would like a way to merge the two parts. my plan is to integrate the part built in unity as the main activity on androids studio and then create the other activities(screens) of my app on android studio and create a way to slide scroll between those screens(activities). i would like this configuration to work as a single 'precess'.
is this posible to do ?
I am still a beginner, so if I didn't explain well please tell me.
I tried to search for information that would be useful to me but on found nothing.
Yes, it's possible. You have to make an Android Export and add it to your main project. then call unity's activity which is registered on AndroidManifest and Unity part will be run.

Flutter UI Guides not showing in Android Studio

In Android Studio V4.1.3 (build no. Al-201.8743.12.41.7199119) The Flutter UI guides for widgets and methods not showing at all even though it is enabled in the settings. Please, be kind to see the screenshot =>
no Flutter UI guides
I have Flutter Plugin V55.1.1 and Dart Plugin V201.9335 installed.
All your help is highly appreciated.
Thank you
You might be creating the new Flutter project and selecting Java for Android. But when you select Kotlin and create project. The issue will be fixed.
And if you want your old projects to be converted to Kotlin, just open the terminal in that project and run this
run flutter create -a kotlin .
The dot(.) at the end is also important it will generate the Kotlin files in current directory.
After this, just re-open the project, you'll get the guides.
I have the same android studio version as you and Flutter Plugin V55.1.1 and Dart Plugin V201.9380 installed. Getting the same issue. I have even tried to enable and disable the "Show UI guidelines for build methods" in Setting > Language & Frameworks > Flutter, but nothings work.
I cloned flutter/sample from GitHub and it seem that the UI guides is showing on that samples project.
My current (kinda easy cheat) solution right now is by creating a New Flutter application project via VS Code. And when I open that flutter project on Android studio, the UI guides is there. I have configure my VS Code with the recommended setting for Dart code.
Tutorial to configure your VS Code reference: https://youtu.be/nAmOt5_fMtU?t=278
I'm pretty new in flutter development but I'm pretty sure there might be something that we can configure on Android Studio seeing that generated project file from VS Code does shows the UI guideline. If someone know how do let me know. Cheers!

How to get the list of installed/non-installed dependencies in Android Studio

I am currently using some libraries (e.b. material design lib) to create apps.
I want to set the minimum SDK to 5.0, but it cannot be done because the version of that library is higher.
My question is how can I know the list of installed/non-installed dependencies(e.g. com.android.support:design) provided by Google in android studio(like SDK manager) or not?
Honestly, I was using the Eclipse IDE for developing android apps, and now I switch to Android Studio. It is difficult to me to use Android Studio. Is there any resources to learn more detailed about the usage of Android Studio?

At first make sure in the left panel Project is selected.
Then right-click on your appropriate project name and select Open Module Settings
There you will see the Dependencies tab that you were searching for. There you will explore the options to add or remove dependencies or shifting them up or down in the easiest way. Hope you will find Android Studio more interesting then Eclipse gradually.

The official android developer site of Google is well enough to learn Android Studio in details. Everything is there. Still you can also go for tutorialspoint tutorial about Android Studio.

Android Studio Artifacts

After developing in Eclipse for several years I have switched to Android Studio since two days. Although I have read as much as possible about it I still have one big problem: I can not find the place to add, change, configure or whatever about the so called artifacts.
I have tried several ways from creating a new project from scratch to importing a complete Eclipse projects.
Although the IntelliJ documentation is clear about it, I can not find it.
The project structure in all cases only shows three parts in the structure:
SDK location, Project and app. I have searched them all but no artifacts.
Who can help me?
The artifact description is in the IntelliJ IDEA manual that is reached by selecting menu item 'Help, Help Topics' in Android Studio.
However, according to JetBrains Support the Android Studio documentation topics need to be updated and the Artifacts page should not be available in Android Studio.

How to know whether an existing project was made using android studio or eclipse?

I have got some open source projects which I want to have a try. But I want to use Eclipse if the project was made using eclipse; otherwise I would like to use Android Studio.
So how can I know by viewing the source code about the IDE used for the development of a particular project? Is there any metadata in any file which stores the IDE information?
I believe that Android Studio sometimes includes gradle related files. That's how I would check.
